A Fun Filled 4th of July!

Our 4th of July was a pretty good day with some relaxing and lots of hanging out with friends! Of course, we had to get all festive with our selections from the Target dollar section:).   







We had a little parade in the apartment complex for all the kids.  It was a little chaotic but the children loved it!














Then we had a cookout with our friends with lots of yummy food and great fellowship!




After the cookout, we gathered together to get ready for fireworks. The kids ran around playing while they waited.  Abigail got comfy in the chair and played with my phone. 




Boys being silly!











Abigail didn't cry during the fireworks, but was very pensive and not a huge fan of them.  This morning she said "I didn't wike them...I was a wittle bit scared."  Ellie Kate liked them until the finale and then it even got a bit too loud for her! 

Overall, it was a fun holiday.  We are thankful for our great nation!!!

Precious pictures. You made some memories for your children and that's really what life and mothering is all about.

Blessings,
