We celebrated our nation's birthday this year by making a couple of crafts. We made a red, white & blue wreath with Josie's handprints. We also made a stained-glass star. To make the stained-glass effect, I had Josie color with red and blue crayons on plain white paper. Then we used a cotton ball to rub cooking oil over the paper, which made it see-through. Then we glued the "glass" between 2 pieces of construction paper with a star cut in the middle. Both projects turned out very cute!
We also made a flag cake. I used a Hungry Girl recipe to make the cake. It's just a box of extra-moist chocolate cake mix and a can of cherry coke zero. We used cool whip for icing and then used blueberries and strawberries to make an American flag. It tastes sooooo good!!!! Very light and refreshing! :-) Plus, we had fun making it, too! Yummy!!!
Looks like fun! I can't get over how big Josie looks in the picture of her with the completed cake! We sure do miss you all!
