I loved that the 4th of July was on a Sunday this year. Not just because it spread out the fun over the long weekend, but also because it made singing the patriotic hymns in church even more meaningful.
The Partridges sure know how to dress -- everyone was in their red, white, and blue; tastefully done of course! For our big Sunday dinner together, I came up with a Red, White, & Blue theme. We had a pasta bar with 3 types of noodles, red sauce, and white sauce. There was blue jello, rolls, and a mix of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries.
After dinner, everyone sang Happy Birthday to me and I got a gift from all the siblings/spouses. It was a gift certificate to Sunglass Hut, which I used already when I was at the mall Tuesday night! Thanks!
For dessert, I went a little crazy. Ice cream was on sale, so I had purchased 5 containers (and we had 1 container of sherbet already)!
Plus I had to make the perfect 4th of July cake that I found here. The top layer fell apart on me when I took it out of the pan, and I had a hard time salvaging it. So it doesn't look as pretty as the one on the blog, but it was still a big hit!
