Fourth of July

We had a very low-key Fourth of July this year. Sunday night, we went to a BBQ picnic with our church. It was held at a farm and the girls loved it. They were able to run, run, run, play with bubbles, watch the cows, swing on an old tire swing, and meet new friends. We left right before the fireworks because it was late and Ellie was ready for bed.


Monday, Lainie, Emmie and I went to the pool while J stayed home with Ellie. Once we got home, Emmie ate a cookie and crashed in the process. She literally fell asleep in the middle of the den floor! Poor baby girl!

Aunt Kimie, Uncle Dane, Aunt Ooey and Uncle Mick all came over that afternoon to cook out.






The fireworks in our neighborhood are amazing. I have never seen so many individual families do fireworks like our neighbors do. Needless to say, it was the perfect way to watch them. We were able to put Ellie to bed and then take the other girls outside on the back porch to see them. Lainie actually fell asleep watching them.

We had a great 4th and are so thankful for the reason we celebrate!
