Derek and I are back in town for a couple of weeks while the kids bask in the full attention of their grandparents in Sacramento, so I thought I'd catch up on blog entries.
First up: Fourth of July 2011!
After planning to attend a fireworks show out of town, with the heat and dust and joys of stacked parking, we decided to stay home on the recommendation of our new neighbor Kathy, who said that we had a perfect view of the Burbank Starlight Bowl fireworks from our very own driveway.
So just like that... it was a party! Fortunately Maren the Decorating Committee came through in a big way.
Because nothing says Celebrating America's Independence like... Angry Birds.
Wow, neighbors past and present! Susie enjoys an Alffburger in the VIP Seating Area.

Derek always makes sure he's camera-ready.
Mmmm, fudgesicles!
Susie, Molly and Cassie enjoy fudgesicles, too.
Jeni and Deacon and... fudgesicles.
I like this pic. It reminds me of every single picture from the block parties of my youth.
Roasting marshmallows for s'mores over the, er, campfire!
The big show! Blast your own music, and you're all set!

Whether it's Thanksgiving, Superbowl Sunday, the Fourth of July or Christmakwanzaahanukkah, Susie's sparkling personality and fabulous devilled eggs make it a great event.
Next post: Camping in NorCal!!
