It is hard for me to believe the 4th of July is almost here, where is the summer going?!? It’s one of my favorite holidays of the summer. We get to be reminded of what freedom and patriotism is all about in our country – what a wonderful celebration!
In a small town, we see the community working together for planning and preparation for parades, fun, food, events, and more – what fun for all! As we begin to step into this American holiday, the kids and I thought this looked like a great snack to enjoy all the way through it! It’s super simple and easy to decorate with red, white, and blue sprinkles – as well as M&Ms 😉
Happy 4th of July!
