Monday's dinner...Independence Day

July 4th was a hot one-so, we ate indoors

What do you think about this Patriotic Trifle?
This bowl weighed about 4 or 5 lbs! lol

What a blessing to have each of these smiling faces around
the table!

We hope that your 4th was a fun family time together too!

Thanks to Taste of Home for the recipe:

Directions
