4th of July

One of my favorite holidays, other than Christmas, is the 4th of July! I have to admit, I really really struggle living in Australia and not being able to fully celebrate my American Holidays. I do my best to celebrate them either way :) the 4th of July is also special because it is the day my husband proposed! Here is a pic from the night we got engaged...
We look like babies!

Anyways...

I never know when to exactly celebrate our holidays, as we are a day ahead of America, it's almost more fun to do it a day late so I am doing the same things as my family and friends back at home :) On the actual 4th of July here I had a friend come over and we made bacon mac n' cheese and had s'mores for dessert. I had to substitute Hershey's chocolate for Cadbury (not a bad trade) and ordered all of the marshmallows and graham crackers from a website that sells USA foods in Australia....needless to say my pregnant ass has been eating s'mores everyday since haha

On the 5th of July here, 4th of July in America, I decided it was our day to somewhat celebrate. I made Kynley a very festive looking breakfast, and sang her as many patriotic song as I could think of. Luckily she finds me amusing most of the time so it was a success ;) 

I took her 4th of July photo to share on Instagram and FB with family and friends. Luckily it was a Saturday so my husband was home to assist, let's be honest, the photographers daughter hates the camera right now...so Dad entertained her until I got some good pics to add to her holiday photo's I have been doing. 
Pretty happy with how these turned out haha nothing makes me happier than getting funny photos of this little bug!

My husband and I spent the day car shopping and then went out to an American style restraunt with some American friends. The chef is from Alabama and they had the most amazing BBQ. It was our first time there but we will definitely be going back for more...

Ideally I would have like to spend the day eating hot dogs and drinking coors light, and watching my step dad blow shit up, but hey, there is always next year right?
