In just a few days many of us will be hosting or attending 4th of July celebrations.<\/p>\n

The 4th of July is the day we celebrate America. \u00a0We celebrate with cookouts, picnics, family gatherings, fireworks and much more. \u00a0I have found several ideas for decorating and also yummy food that I wanted to share with you.<\/p>\n

Whether indoors or outdoors, it is always fun to decorate for this special celebration. \u00a0I always make sure I have flags in my flower pots and buntings on my decks and patio. \u00a0The kiddos also think it is fun to help decorate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are so many fun ideas for decorating the tables. \u00a0I thought this idea from Thrifty Decor Chick<\/a> was very clever. \u00a0The tables would look great at night while watching the fireworks!<\/p>\n

\"FOURTH4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This printable from Kiki & Company<\/a>\u00a0would be a great addition to the food and\/or drink table or an area where people are going to congregate.<\/p>\n

\"FOURTH6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I would guess that the majority of the time the menu for this celebration will include hamburgers, brats, hot dogs and all the trimmings. \u00a0Why not make this strawberry lemonade drink to go along with the meal. \u00a0I found this from Laylita’s Recipes<\/a>. \u00a0It looks delicious!!!<\/p>\n

\"FOURTH7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fruit is always a great choice for the menu. \u00a0How about cream cheese stuffed strawberries from Jamie Cooks It Up?<\/a><\/p>\n

\"FOURTH2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fruit skewers are a great way to use several different kinds of fruit. \u00a0I found this idea from Writing With Lipstick.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"FOURTH3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t forget the desserts! \u00a0I think these star-shaped berry hand pies look wonderful! \u00a0These would be easy to serve and to eat. \u00a0This idea comes from Ehow<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"FOURTH5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My daughter made these strawberry, blueberry, marshmallow and brownie bite skewers to take to a party, and they looked great! \u00a0She got rave reviews as well. \u00a0For a final touch, she drizzled chocolate syrup on each one! \u00a0Crazy For Crust<\/a> has this idea.<\/p>\n

\"FOURTH\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Give the kids something to do while waiting for dinner. \u00a0I found these cute buckets containing flags, bubbles and more on Pinterest<\/a>. \u00a0KB Custom Designs<\/a> came up with this idea.<\/p>\n

\"FOURTH1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Whatever your plans for the 4th of July, I hope you have a great day–and evening if you are planning on watching fireworks. \u00a0Be sure and stop and give thanks for our country and pray for its future. \u00a0God Bless the USA!<\/p>\n
