Happy Anniversary...and Happy 4th.

July 1st we celebrated our one year anniversary in our home. Can you believe 1 year has gone by? It's been amazing, and I feel so blessed to live in our wonderful home. We marked the day with fish and chips from Johnson's and Wicked Whoopi Pies. So yummy!


Happy 4th...we had a great Independence day. We started the day with strawberry shortcake biscuits and then headed down to Portsmouth, NH. The Strawberry banke museum does a big 4th of July celebration. The outdoor museum is amazing with some homes dating back to 1695. The gardens surrounding the home are beautiful, making you feel like your in a Jane Austin movie. The fun part were the people dressed in period clothing. Musketeers fired off some shots and most people had fresh popped Kettle Corn in tow. When we first arrived the kids were given a scavenger hunt consisting of 5 questions they had to have answered at the different houses. They were shy about asking the actors/historians their questions, but the motivation of a prize helped them muster up their courage. It was a great time, but of course, I forgot my camera....maybe next year.

We ended the day with a great BBQ with friends, a bike parade, and fireworks. It was the perfect 4th.
