Independence

With the 4th falling on a Sunday this year we decided to have a nice, quite celebration. We went to a firework show Saturday night and Sunday we had some friends over for dinner.
Elley was so excited to make cupcakes for our "birthday party." She told everyone at church that she made cupcakes for her birthday.
After dinner we made our way out to the front to light off a few fireworks.


Ryan and Hailey getting ready for the show.





Carter had a blast with the sparklers.



Molly and Elley had fun too. Elley was a little more nervous than the other kids.



The pop-its were a BIG hit. For some reason the back of the car got opened up and that's where the kids wanted to sit.




Our amazing firework show.
And of course, after the show was over Elley yelled, "YAY, Happy Birthday mom." It just had to be someones birthday because we had cupcakes. Shes just a little to young to realize that it's America's birthday. So, thank you America, for having a birthday and for being an amazing country to live in......we are so blessed!

Looks like fun. We had a quite day until we went to the city fireworks show in the park as well.
