Red, White and Birthday

Happy Fourth of July!

 Ryan's family has a long-standing tradition of gathering at Nonny's every Sunday for a hearty dinner. Being that Ryan's birthday is a couple of days after July 4th, I offered to host a patriotic rendition of Sunday dinner and also celebrate Ry's special day.  

Drink Station

I made two drinks for the day, both red to fit the theme. One is a red wine sangria with watermelon and the other is strawberry iced tea (made with red tea)

Decorations:

Paper Medallions 

Table set with white and blue linens. The centerpieces were blue hydrangeas and American flags in cruets sitting on top of red checkered cloth coasters. 

A sweet ending to the meal was an assortment of desserts, including these festive cupcakes made by my aunt.
