The 4th is next week!! Next week! What do you normally do to celebrate? I feel like we do something different each year. Either a baseball game, a pool cookout, or visiting my parents. It also happens to be my grandmother's birthday so we usually have a birthday party as well (she will be 93 this year).
With KC being a month old on the 4th this year, I'm thinking we will stay home and possibly host my parents and grandmother. I put together some things to make it fun for the kids. I'm sure Party City/Target/Dollar Store have a lot of great items to make the day extra special for little ones. My boys aren't huge fans of fireworks (or apparently sparklers either) so I was thinking glow sticks may be a nice change. I'm sure we will have lots of great food and cake (or cupcakes) for dessert and I threw in our boys favorite "treat" drink - Izze (which we call Fizzy Pop). I'm in love with the straws from Etsy, it is funny how such little items can make a day feel even more special. 
What would you add? I feel like I've slacked off this year and would love some suggestions!

  1. Love all these ideas and you get a pass for the 4th with a newborn! The 4th is my brother in laws birthday so we usually always have a party or something fun for him- it's fun because we always do something different rather than the typical fireworks and bbq.

  2. I'm loving those Izze drinks lately!! The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate and it's also my Mom's birthday!!! We usually have a low-key cookout at night and watch the firework show and try to get out on the boat during the day!! The kids outfits are adorable and I know they will have a ball.
