Our Fourth of July was enjoyed in the company of family at Mom and Dad's house. We combined our patriotic celebration with an anniversary party as well! Mom and Dad celebrated 40 years of marriage last weekend!
They're the best parents ever and I love them with all my heart.
I have been enjoying a Cake Boss marathon on Netflix, so I was inspired to decorate their cake. I used a buttercream frosting over a chocolate cake. The daisies, in honor of their wedding flowers, were cut from fondant. It was delicious!

Our anniversary gift will be an updated family photo. This one was just practice. We need Brian to complete the picture!
(I love Connor's look. He was curious about the camera's countdown and flashing light!)
Wilbur also had a holiday of his own at Mom and Dad's for a few days. He enjoyed going in and out at his leisure...and of course, free access to food ALL DAY! Heaven!
On Saturday following the Fourth, we enjoyed the annual clam bake and Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop's. As always, it was to die for!. Now that I'm such a fan, I can't get enough! I also decorated a cake for this event, but forgot to take any pictures! (I know - crazy!) This cake was a light blue buttercream-frosted chocolate cake with fondant clam shells to decorate the top. Despite the heat, we enjoyed a fun day in the pool, stuffing our face, and watching the firework display from the backyard.
