4th of July Weekend

We had a pretty low key holiday weekend with friends and family. The weather was AWESOME and Mr Baby was praising Jesus for the very low humidity for a few days! Since it was nice out, we took advantage of the pretty weather and joined some friends at their pool for a birthday party cookout. It was so nice to be outside and not sweat. Pretty rare for June!  We took Mr Baby for a little swim and he loved waving to kids who swam by. I think he would float all day if we let him!

For the 4th, we cooked some burgers at MorMor's and I made my favorite 4th of July dish-
Layered Jello Yumminess. I just came up with that name because it doesn't have one, haha. Here is the recipe:

1 cup crushed pretzels

2 tbsp sugar

3/4 cup melted butter

1 cup sugar

8 oz cream cheese(light or reg)

9 oz cool whip(light or reg)

6 oz or 2 small boxes of rasberry or strawberry jello

1 1/2 cups boiling water

1 large pk frozen strawberries

4-5 ice cubes

~Mix pretzels, 2tbsp sugar and butter in 9/13 in pan. Bake at 375 for 8 minutes.

~In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup sugar and cream cheese, add cool whip and spread over cooled crust.

~In a separate bowl, mix Jello and hot water. Stir until dissolved. Thicken with frozen berries and ice cubes. Once thick, pour over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate and enjoy!!   :)

Thank you for my balloon, MorMor! It keeps me entertained for a long time!  :)
