{weekend photos}

Growing up in Huntington Beach, the 4th of July is a BIG deal.  We usually spend the day riding bikes around the parade, BBQ-ing, lounging by the pool and then watching the fireworks on the beach.  On top of all that, this year we also got to go to an early 4th of July celebration on Saturday in Venice Beach at our friend's neighborhood block party.  Here are a few photos from the weekend:

Tonight I am going to be checking out the Confetti Lab party at The Wedding Pantry in Tustin. If you are in the area I highly recommend you RSVP right away and join me there tonight to check out all the wonderful party goods (there are also going to be tacos involved. enough said.)

For more information- check out Lauren's blog, A Fabulous Fete or if you don't want more info about the event, but you DO want to see lots of cute party ideas then go to her blog anyways!
