July 4th 2014

A little late, but wanted to share a few holiday photos. Our pre-fourth of July celebration was at Tim’s mom’s house in Ventura.  It was a chill day with plenty of festive snacks and a tri-tip dinner to go with.  We set up sprinklers for Liam to play in the back yard.  He had a blast!  I watched him running solo through the water with a big grin on his face.  I can’t wait for baby Jace to be here with his big brother. 🙂

Our 4th of July started our with a festive breakfast, pancake stars!  Just expect every holiday to be fun, especially with food. Ha!  Super easy to make.  I used the star cookie cutter and added raspberries and blueberries for garnish. Viola!

After breakfast, my focus was on making these cute mini holiday cherry tarts.  Our friends invited us to their 4th of July BBQ party in Venice Beach.  I thought these were perfect for the occasion!  And who doesn’t like dessert?
