Celebrating The 4th With Spritzers

Happy July 4th!

What a special & important day for our country.

I can't help but be sentimental on a day such as today.

Sharing the significance with my oldest son, Shane
makes it all the more special this year because he really gets it
& is excited to ask questions and learn.
Which is fun!

In honor of our beautiful country

I thought I would make a little celebratory cocktail for later

&

some cocktails for the kids to enjoy,

all in the spirit of today.
