memorial day bbq

happy memorial day!  i would first off like to say thank you to all of those who have served or currently serve in our military.  i have so much respect and gratitude for each and every one of you!  in celebration of memorial day, we decided to have a little bbq.  here's a little "taste" of what i made...

it all began with these 2 sprinkle bottles...
chocolate and vanilla dipped pretzels (my specialty ;)..they are not only so easy to make, they are so tasty too!  and without a doubt, always a hit!  i rarely have any left over!)


i didn't want cupcakes, i wanted sugar cookies..and i really wanted to use my new cupcake tower...so why not? :)  spice it up a little with ribbon and flags..and it was my most festive centerpiece! :)




i just found this drink dispenser at costco the other day..and was so excited!  it is sooo practical! one of the best things about it is that the bottom half holds ice..so it keeps the beverage cold!  in this case it was iced tea.  i love it!  
a few centerpieces i threw together atop red and white checked tableclothes.  and a bbq just isn't complete without rockers and a picnic table, right? ;)
it was a perfect day to bbq, enjoy the weather, and just relax!  i hope everyone enjoyed their day as well! :)

Absolutely adorable! There is nothing better than a lovely party. I love that you put cookie in the cupcake stand - that is such a great idea! Way to go.
