4th of July

In the words of Madelyn, "Happy Birthday to United States!"  We had a really fun time this year baking a red and blue cake together. She loved pouring in all of the ingredients and she REALLY liked doing all of the food coloring! The cake turned out SO cute and my mom was in on all of the patriotic action as well. This year will be hard to top as far as cute food things go for the fourth!

 Above, Mads poses with our cake. Below, my mom's pasta salad.
