4th of July fun!

4th of July weekend was CRAZY BUSY for us. Busy - but fun! Not only did we move, but we celebrated E's birthday and had a fun filled holiday weekend with the Holt and Stephen fam's!!

Started off the festivities on Saturday at the FREEZING COLD parade. I mean like in the 50's. Brrrrr!!! First year we didn't get to waterfight with the firemen. Oh well!! At least there was lots of candy!!!

Yummy burger/dog bbq with cousins!! All the sisters had to make a trip to the store since we had NO FOOD (due to the move!!) Burgers and dogs are always a hit though and Thane got to break in his new bbq grill he got for Father's Day!

Thane and my big sis Michele...

Bro-in-law Dave

Bro-in-law Colby

Everyone chowing down. I love Thane in the back holding his corn on the cob up...

Cousins...

Aunt Kristy bought 4th of July cups for all the kiddos.....very fun!

Doing snakes, getting ready for the "late night" fireworks!

Brylee chilling with cousins...

That's good parenting right there...

Sparklers!!

(Another hit of the night was each kid holding roman candles out over the pond. Another bit of good parenting!)

So blessed to live in this free country and celebrate it up every July 4th!!
