Yay for Indie-Pendence Day!

If anyone knows the Wise Family, you know they like to cook...and mostly eat. That's exactly what we did to celebrate America's independence.

After about 60 e-mails back and forth in order to refine our celebratory menu, here's what we came up with:

Appetizers
-Deviled Eggs
-Individual Caprisi Salads
-Jalepeno Poppers
-Chips

Main Course
- Burgers, Dogs, Brats, BBQ Chicken
-German Potato Salad
-2 kinds of pasta salads
-Fresh Corn on the Cob
-Fruit Salad

Dessert
-Blueberry Pies
-Strawberry Pies
-Pecan Pie
-Brownie Pie
-Fruit Tart
-Jen's Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies
-Hazelnut Mini-Cup Cakes
-White Chocolate Chex Mix

Needless to say...us Wises have sort of a sweet-tooth problem!!!

After dinner, Grandma Wise bought all her Granddaughters Red and White cheerleading outfits!! I have never seen such cute little girls!!! They all frolicked around in the back yard while Aunt April taught them cheers! Pom-Pom's and all, it was SO cute.

It wouldn't be 4th of July without some sand! Little Neil Ascher likes to get messy!
