Independence Day 2014
We had a fun Independence Day!
Steven spent much of the day in the kitchen. He made a delicious potato salad, but his masterpiece was this trifle:
Layers of blueberry jello, whipped cream, strawberry jello, banana slices, more whipped cream, and topped with Nilla wafers and strawberries and raspberries and blueberries. Just looking at this scrumptious dessert made my mouth water! It was hard to wait until dinner time to dig in.
In the afternoon, we went over to a friends' house, bringing the trifle, the potato salad, and some corn. We joined our friends for a fantastic spread of hamburgers and hot dogs, salads, chips, and watermelon, followed by the trifle and cupcakes. We rolled away from the table feeling very full.
Later on we went with our friends to watch fireworks put on by the city of Northglenn. These fireworks were closer to home than the Thornton ones we usually go to see, so it didn't take as long for us to get home and to bed.
While our Independence Day is filled with food and friends and fireworks, we remember that it is thanks to our armed forces that we enjoy the freedoms to celebrate as we do. I'm grateful to live in the wonderful country I do.
