A Weekend of Celebration and Thanks!

July 4th, Independence Day, brings lots of ways to celebrate and give thanks to all those heroes out there that are risking their lives and have risked their lives for us to have our freedom. From cookouts with friends and family to fireworks displays to parades, there are numerous ways you can celebrate.

My family started our festivities this weekend with our local fireworks festival Friday night. This was the first time our girls were big enough to know what was going on. This year they had the moon bounces for the kids and lots of other activities for the children and adults alike. My girls loved the moon bounce slides with daddy.

After this fun, it was time for the fireworks! Yay!

My 3 year old, Savanah was not too happy with the loud noise the fireworks made.

My 2 year old, Sarah, on the other hand loved them and wanted to see more.

Here are a few pictures that I took of the fireworks:

Saturday, the 4th, was spent with family for the most part with a cookout with friends to wrap up the day. What a great way to celebrate, with friends. We attended a cookout with lots of activities for the kids, even the "big kids" had a good time. There was a pool, sidewalk chalk for artwork, water slide and the biggest hit of all was a water balloon fight, this is where the "big" kids came into the fun. We wrapped up the night with a little fireworks display at the cookout. Once again Savanah didn't like them but Sarah loved it!

Thanks to all of the soldiers out there that have risked their lives and those that are risking their lives today! Also a huge thanks to their families for giving them the support to do what they do! God Bless you all and God Bless America!

Review of A Perfect Party by Cody

Saturday, June 27th, was our first Sassy Affair with the Sassy Sisters In Sales. One of our sisters, Kattia Gordon, is a rep for A Perfect Party by Cody. During Kattia's time slot her prize for her game was two of the treat/craft bags offered on her site. I won the prize so I took Kattia's advice and got two of the Beach Babe Treat bags.

Well, much to my surprise, the treat bags arrived yesterday, Thursday, July 2nd. I thought that was pretty fast shipping!

I sat my girls down today to let them open their surprise! I was very impressed with how the treat bags were packaged. When I opened up the cardboard shipping box, I found a nice memory box tied up with a pretty purple ribbon.

My daughters, Savanah age 3 and Sarah age 2, could not wait to get into this big box to see what their surprise was. I let them continue on to open the box. As they untied that ribbon and opened the top of the box they saw a tattoo and a candy stick. Savanah said, "Aww...Mommy look!"

So, on through this pretty purple tissue paper my girls got to their "surprise". They pulled out their bags and were excited to see what all was in them. As I began to pull everything out of the treat bags, we found: sunglasses, flip flops, a visor, candy necklace, small beach ball, and decorative foam pieces. My girls immediately put on the sunglasses.

I sat the girls in separate chairs and showed them how to pull the backs off the stickers to decorate their visors. They really enjoyed doing this. Both girls made their hats all by themselves. They put them on and are still wearing them. There were decorations for the flip flops but we didn't' get that far.

As you can see by the pictures, neither girl took off their sunglasses to decorate their hat. Once the hats were finished they put them on and then had to put on the necklace and blow up their beach balls. Now they are ready to go to the beach!

Thanks Kattia for suggesting the Beach Babe Treat Bags!
