Red, white and blue

Today is.... JULY 4!

In America that means Independence Day. In Australia it doesn't really mean anyting but we decided to celebrate as the Americans do anyway, sans fireworks as they are illegal :(

Gladys really wanted to see fireworks so I showed her some on my calendar.

Here is Gladys baking vanilla cupcakes for the party.

And then the not so fun job of cleaning up afterwards....

Lots of yummy American candy!!

Our favourite American treat - pretzels with melted rollos and peanut m&ms on top! DELICIOUS! We'd send you some Sarah but i'm not sure if customs would allow it...
