Our 4th of July Celebration

Our fourth of July celebration was exciting for me because our daddy came home from a long month away for his training out of state. I woke up around 8am and started to prepare food for our daddy's homecoming. I went grocery shopping the day before and it was really packed at the store. I only prepare three dishes, rice, and a dessert. I did not make more food since there's only the three of us here. I don't want the food to get wasted when we cannot consume it all. I made deep-fried chicken (my version of chicken joy), chicken adobo aloha, green bean casserole; the hotdogs were also being readied in case someone wants one. For the dessert, I made the Wave Your Flag Cheesecake. I already made this dessert during my first 4th of July here in the US and decided to make it again to honor the US independence as well as hubby's arrival.

Around 2pm hubby's plane landed at the air force base and he called me right away. I then went to the base to pick him up around 4pm. We waited for more than an hour since they did inventory of all the gears they brought back. We were home almost 6pm. We had our family dinner and I am very thankful that he is home. At the base there was a celebration going on as well as fireworks display but I told hubby we can skip it this time so he can rest and relax at home. I am just glad for hubby to be home and with us again.
