4th of July Blueberry Pie
I had the BEST Friday afternoon with my sweet friend Reagan! Most of you who have followed me for a while know I am obsessed with her, and her delicious decorated cookies. She is just as sweet as her confections! We spent the afternoon chatting and baking two delicious blueberry pies with perfect little stars for the holiday weekend.
