Happy 5th of July!

I hope all of my US friends are recovering well from yesterday's fun! What's your favorite part of celebrating summer holidays? Mine is the people and the decorations, which are sometimes combined...

Red, white and blue glitter on Pop Pop (and most everyone, lol!), banners out by the s'mores station and accidentally matching grandmas were a highlight of yesterday's 4th of July fun! Also a highlight: the food! 

Our Jess throws a pretty fun party, and this is her biggest "to do" of the year,  including cousin time,

water balloons, 

splash pad fun,  

corn hole,

and even a piñata, full of fun! 

Even the new puppy had a visiting puppy pal cousin! She was so excited to play, she was "crazy eyes" excited...all. day. long! 

 

It was a warm and wonderful day to enjoy family and friends, and to try and find shelter from those water balloons!, 

There were cool, (relatively) quiet areas for adults to "set a spell," 

and plenty of spaces to try and step away from the crazy for at least a moment...well, unless you're Pop Pop!

Uncle Allen amd Uncle Drew even provided us with some fireworks before the day was over! 

Happy birthday, America! , and I hope everyone had as much fun celebrating yesterday as we did.

Happy New Year!

Each of the last few years has brought it's own challenges. May 2025 bring us all love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against these things there is no law. 

Knit in Good Health, friends! 

Yankee Doodle Dandy

I was not born on the Fourth of July, but the party was a Yankee Doodle Dandy, for sure! Hats off to Aaron and Jess for hosting a holiday get-together filled with games, water balloons, fireworks (little ones) and family!

Check out Uncle Allen's Pretty-made shorts...lol!

Those first three collections of photos came at the hands of everyone's favorite Pappy,

Thanks, Pappy!

because I didn't take too many pictures! I was busy making festive finger jello

and running through the sprinkler! There is no photo evidence of Pretty doing this, however, but here's a shot of Aunt Jess (my inspiration) running through with the fun kids!

After that, there are these pictures of the people who changed into dry, Aunt Jess clothes! Who wore it best?

Ok, ok...the little guy is wearing his own clothes!
But he HAD to get in on these pics...lol!

There were so many fun moments, and I didn't even remember to take pictures of any of the food that was not jello (Pretty-fail!) but we all had a blast!

Water, hair chalk, posing, and secret texts...

Even when this guy was just chillin' out, taking a break from the action, he was sugared-up and living the good life!

I hope that your holiday was a fun one, if you were celebrating with us in the US! If it wasn't, I hope that your weekend will make up for any fun you might have missed. Even if you're just chillin' out, waiting for a storm to subside, I wish you all the best for the rest of the summer, friends! Maybe you can catch up on some knitting while you chill??? (There has not been much knitting for me so far this weekend...a lot of water balloons on Thursday, though! Lol!)
