Canada Day, July 4th and yummy cake!

We celebrated Canada Day on July 1st. Shane got us all matching "Eh Team" shirts. We had a great day and William LOVED the parade. 

Our July 4th was a little less eventful but still a great day. We wore our patriotic Red, White, and Blue :-) My kids are pretty cute in Canadian and American colors :-)

Here is Shane giving the challenge at the youth/young adults activity last night. We have a youth/young adult night every other Friday and a church activity once a month. We try to do something at least 3 Fridays of the month. So far it has been going great. We usually have between 10-15 youth/young adults. 

And this is the yummy cake mentioned in my title. I made it wheat free, egg free, and nut free and it was sooo yummy! I will share the recipe with you. You have to try it because it is sooo easy to make and tastes so good!
