Fourth of July!

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love the patriotic sense of it, as well as all of the fun things that go along with it (parades, grilling out, fireworks, get-togethers, etc.). It is just another reason to enjoy summer even more!! We were blessed with a wonderful weekend - beautiful weather and time well spent with family and friends. One of my favorite parts was that our family watched fireworks snuggled up together on our back porch. We had a beautiful view of about 5 different firework displays. It was amazing!

Some pictures of our weekend:

Eva and Jaden in their Fourth of July outfits!

Eva is afraid of the fireworks loud noise (and was concerned the birds would be afraid too)! We fixed it by letting her listen to music with Daddy's special headphones!

A little sibling waterfight is always a good time....only Jaden was the only one getting soaked - but he LOVED it!

Side Note: Thanks, Dad, for all you've done in your life to ensure the freedom of not only those you love, but all Americans!
