I love strawberries & Fourth Of July 2011

Yeah yeah yeah, I know, it's almost the end of August and I'm FINALLY writing about the Fourth of July. I've been slacking on my blog posts lately. I take all the pictures, but I just don't feel like actually putting them up. Well, I figure I should do so now while I have the time, before I start school and my new job. More on that in another post, though.

For the fourth, Dawson and I were invited to his grandparent's annual Fourth of July party, only this time, it was at their new house! I made dessert and my mom & I made salads. Dawson had fun, swimming and visiting with the other side of his family. He looked dashing in his fourth themed American flag jumper and flip-flops.

I bought a huge tray of strawberries at Costco because I was planning on making a whole bunch of strawberry things for the 4th. I made strawberry cheesecake, which was absolutely delicious, as well as white chocolate covered strawberries.
