Happy Birthday America!

Happy Fourth of July!!  We hope your day was as relaxing as ours!  The day started off not much different from any other Sunday around our house, meaning we were real lazy and stayed in our pajamas until after lunch!  We loved that Vaughn had a long weekend to play with us, Callie was attached at the hip.  :)

4th of July1

Chloe was being her usual self trying to pull up on everything

4th of July3

And this crazy girl was all about being, well crazy…IMG_6319 After a great nap, we packed up and headed out to G-Kat and Papas house to celebrate!  I don’t think you could get more American with your meal- Hamburgers, fruit, casseroles, salad, and cupcakes!  Callie helped me bake some cupcakes for the party, I think she enjoyed eating them more than making them- I did too.  4th of July5

Chloe enjoyed celebrating with ice cream from Aunt Ellen, my kids aren’t spoiled, at all….. 4th of July

After dessert it was time to get on the porch to watch some fireworks, we all took our seats…IMG_6363I love this picture!  One of my favorites of Dad and Chloe and then a bonus- Alex in the background doing is usual thing :) IMG_6362Callie snuggled up with G-Kat to watch.  She’s not a big fan of thunder, and since fireworks sound a lot like them, she was a little timid at first.  However, once she saw how neat they were, she was all into it.      4th of July4 Fireworks!  FYI: when buying fireworks, read the label closely… we got a big package of them that ended up being “fountains” not “rockets.”  OPS  IMG_6333Even though they were just fountains, they were still pretty and probably a lot safer for us- we’ve been known to hit people with them before- yeah dangerous.  IMG_6341 Though low key, it was a perfect way to celebrate the 4th- we were with our family!  Happy 4th of July and thank you to the many men and women serving our country!!
