Happy 4th of July!!










We had so much fun this 4th of July!
We started our day off with our traditional french toast breakfast from Kneaders Bakery..Delicious!! We were hoping to wake up early enough to get to see the hot air balloons but we missed them by about 35 minutes, maybe next year.
Then we had a family nap which was heavenly!! That was right before our bbq at the farm. There were lots of little great grand kids this year and Colee was able to branch out and play with some friends, Olivia, Camry and I think she even played with Drumer Doo without freaking out (grandpa's big dog). We had hotdogs and lots of yummy salads to choose from. Then aunt Mille made balloon animals and Colee requested a giraffe. She played the cake walk game, wrote on the sidewalk with chalk, and watched the big kids play volley ball. We love this party.
We were thinking we would have a great view of the Thanksgiving Point fireworks but we were so wrong!! But, Colee wanted nothing to do with the fireworks anyway so we went inside.
It was just great to be together as a family!!
The 4th is truly one of my favorite holidays. I am so very grateful to live in this country and have our incredible blessings.

I loved the 4th! SO much fun that Colee is getting bigger, Livi's loved playing with her they were so cute!

Bummer you missed out on the Hot air balloons, you needed to be at our house, we saw TONS and they landed in front of our house on July 3rd.
