FOURTH, FAMILY, FUN & FOOD

Some fun things I used today

An apron to decorate the front of the oven that my grandma used when she was a school lunch lady

tea towels to cover up the stove to so we could use it as a serving surface and not scratch it

white plates with dry erase markers so people knew what was in front of them (yes I tried it on the bottom of them before I wrote all over the top :)  )

the silver ware holder was one of the flower holders from our wedding

I had to use a table cloth on our AMAZING table and bench that Lee and his Dad made(we ordered and stained the chairs) so that nothing scratched it (I will post pictures of the table in full later)

we took a cooler of drinks and kettle corn and twizzlers to the fire works at our local golf course where we met the rest of Lees family that we watch these with every year.


OVER ALL WE HAD AN AMAZING DAY WITH FAMILY, FUN & YUMMY FOOD

celebrate on!
