Canada Day

For us our day was pretty quiet and uneventful.I have a hard time with any holiday other than Christmas in regards to knowing what to do.Growing up most of theses days were nothing more than a passing moment.July 1st we sometimes got together with my moms side of the family to watch the parade(in Bassano) and have a great picnic but as time marches on families grow and change and that sort of got lost in the business of life.

Also DH grew up in a family that didn't do much celebrating either.I am trying to change that for the girls.I want them to know what an amazing country we live in and how we have so much to be thankful for.They did wear Canada t-shirts and "E" had barrettes with little Maple leafs on them and we made Canada flag cupcakes(.*just a side note*.. don't put wet strawberries on top of the icing, they will not stay on !)We tried to watch the fireworks but the good LORD had different ideas HE decided we needed a thunderstorm instead.So the fireworks were very short because of the rain.Oh well may be next year.

Happy Birthday Canada!! I am proud to be Canadian.Eh?
