Canada Day is celebrated on July 1st- just a few days before one of my favorite holidays, the 4th of July. My husband is Canadian, which makes my children part Canadian as well. Since they are now old enough to understand this, we are trying to celebrate our family's Canadian heritage as well. This past October, we celebrated our 1st official Canadian Thanksgiving. So, it only seemed appropriate that this summer we also celebrate Canada Day!

Then the fun began. My children painted the shirts using Tulip brand fabric paint. (I admit I am a little bit of a control freak and painted both of the maple leafs.) The shirts look adorable and they are so proud of them!

For our meal we made crock-pot boneless ribs with rice, cheesy broccoli, cauliflower, orange and yellow carrots. The finale of our meal was the most special- a chocolate sheet cake with the best frosting ever (both recipes from the Pioneer Woman) decorated with strawberries to look like a maple leaf. My children and I all have a sweet tooth (and my husband doesn't mind cake either!)

We had an amazing 1st official Canada Day!
