Happy 4th of July

This year we celebrated the 4th on Saturday and Monday. Saturday my parents and Kelly and her kids came over for a barbecue and fireworks. I didn't get any pictures of that day but will post some once I get them from Kelly. The kids had a lot of fun on the slip and slide and watching the fireworks.

Monday we went to the movies with Jim's family and had a b-b-q and fireworks at his sister's house. The kids got to play with their cousins while we were at the movies. Vanessa was so worn out when we got back to the movies she passed out on Jim.



I love seeing the two of them like this.



My brother-in-law Dave is a firework freak. Every year he goes all out with set up and his lighting technique is extremely entertaining.



Andrew loved the fireworks and hanging out with his cousin Steven. Everywhere Steven went, Andrew went too.



Ally is still very hesitant around fireworks.



She hid up on the porch and would slowly creep down to watch some more.





Vanessa didn't love the noisy fireworks either but it was a really fun night.

We had a lot of fun with each of our families. I love holidays and the time we get to spend together with family.
