4th of July Party

Thursday, July 4, 2013

We had a big bash for the 4th of July this year.  We had a big cookout with Grandma and Grandpa, Bonnie, Nathan and Lauren.  Then later in the evening we had a big dessert and fireworks party with Grandma, Grandpa, Bonnie, Nathan, Lauren AND our neighbors - Ashley, Jeremy, Reagan and Owen Stapleton and Melissa, Jason, Jeff and Jacob Moody.

 Before the sun went down we broke out the sparklers!  The kids loved the sparklers.  Unfortunately one spark hit Emily's shoulder and she spent most of the rest of the night scared of the fireworks.  But, she still participated a little....just from a slightly greater distance. 

Once the sun went down and tummies were full of treats, the guys got to work on setting off the fireworks.

And they were beautiful.  It was such a fun night.  I almost enjoyed the 4th of July more than Christmas. Very happy memories for sure.
