Who says that patriotic parties are only for the 4th of July??
Did you know that in 2008, over 1 million people became US citizens?
Last week, my brother in law became a US citizen. At his ceremony, there were 187 people being sworn in, representing 50 different countries! My sister decided to throw a little party to celebrate his new status.
So, what do you need to throw a great All-American party?
Beautiful scenery
Good music
Fun fireworks
And of course, GOOD FOOD!!
Don’t forget to include All-American favorites when it comes to the food. You can serve hamburgers, hot dogs or do a good bbq. And for dessert, don’t forget the apple pie!! This was also a great chance for me to make a flag cake that I’ve been wanting to try out! There is a lot of red, white and blue candy out there that is sold year round, as well.
No matter what time of year it is, celebrating someone’s new American status is a great reason to celebrate!!
That cake is awesome!! So cool with the blue in there!
