My attempt at star decorated cupcakes, I forgot to order Sarah's this year. Check out www.fortheloveofsugar.com for Sarah Witt's beautifully decorated cupcakes.

The day before the 4th. Raif helped me make the cupcakes. He got to lick the spoon.

We had a wonderful 4th of July this year, Raif's first. Raif helped me the day before by making cupcakes while his sister was sleeping. She said she "didn't want to make cupcakes," but I knew she would when she woke up so we decorated frosting covered graham crackers, my Grandpa Jim's favorite, when she woke up. We celebrated the 4th of July at the bay on the peninsula with the Irelands, the Jacobs's and Sarah's friends Sarah and Travis from up north. Check out their blog for some more fun pictures of the day http://www.aaronandsarahireland.blogspot.com/ We were at the beach for many hours, then ventured over to the Hertzog's for a BBQ. We didn't last long and then came home to enjoy the fireworks from atop our roof. Bailey was so excited to see the fireworks and then immediately fell asleep upon hitting her pillow.
