Anyway, today we had a nice quiet day, I ended up BBQing for the family and our friend Kipp! I made steaks for the boys and hot dogs & hamburgers for the girls and I! I was feeling pretty adventurous today and decided to try and make an American flag out of Jell-O.. red, white, and blue and all: Luxembourg Trier 4th of July 2011 2011-07-04 036

It was delish! I also made banana pudding for the first time too!

The base did their 4th of July celebration on the 1st of July.. why? Your guess is as good as mine! We decided to not go to the festivities and just played around the house! So this year we saw no fireworks- live, that is because we sure saw tons of pictures from our friends that got to watch them!

Since we are such a patriotic family, it wouldn’t be the celebration of our nations independence without the girls being festive :girls 4th 2011-07-04 0155 girls 4th 2011-07-04 020
