Chris, the kids and I had our own Olympic party. I made an All-American meal...hamburgers and hot dogs, potato chips, raspberries and blueberries and for dessert and Olympic cake! I just felt like we needed to eat this meal off of paper plates. Could be because it was a classic 4th of July meal, but it just seemed right! We had a good discussion about the food and had a nice night celebrating the USA! Here are some pictures of our party.

Also, I wanted to attach a link to this article I read that someone posted on facebook. I was totally guilty of joining in the "bashing sochi" trend that was going on with all of the news about how bad conditions are in Russia. I thought this article was a really good one. It made me think about how these people have to live with these conditions day in and day out. We (westerners) are having to deal with it for a few weeks and then get to come home to clean drinking water and toilets that flush every single day. You can read the article here if you're interested.
Go Team USA!!

You are a fantastic mom!
I love it! Dave and I have always loved the Olympics, I wanted to do an Olympic themed day with the kids too, but we were sidetracked with Gma and Gpa coming:) We will be cheering for USA and our Canadian friends next time! Ivy practicing to be the flag bearer some day? :)
