Diamond Jubilee

In early June, the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth celebrated Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee, that's 60 years as Queen.  It was a really special weekend with lots of festivities that we were able to watch on TV.  The country was alive with royal spirit and patriotism.  It's been really nice seeing all the Union Jack flags everywhere.  Our street had a "street party" which was a great opportunity for us to socialize with our neighbors, who usually stay to themselves. 

We spent our morning making Union Jack Cupcakes to share.
The girls had the most fun painting faces at the party.  They even painted the faces of most adults at the party.  So funny how our little american girls painted the UK flag on everyone's faces!


 Great job Alexa!
