We had a really fun 4th this year!
We started by having some fun with fireworks at home on Tuesday night. We let Carter stay up late so we could play with them in the dark. This is the last time we'll be able to do fireworks in the backyard, since we're moving out of the boonies this weekend! :)
He loved the colored smoke bombs!
And of course, the sparklers! (which he kept calling "sprinklers!")
Then on Wednesday we headed over and spent some time with our family friends, the Warricks and the Pattersons. Carter and Daddy swam with the other kids, and Ella and Mommy sat and chatted with the rest of the ladies. It was a fun morning!
Here are the kids in their very festive and patriotic outfits!
(Forgive the bad quality of all these pics - they are from my cell phone!)
After long naps from each of the kiddos, we met our friends, the Byrums, for dinner and fireworks!
Here are my two little loves playing before the fireworks start!
Glad I ran to Walmart and snagged these adorable little chairs..... they were a hit!
Soooooo excited!
Amanda snapped this picture of all 4 of us, and look - everyone is smiling!!
(and no one's face is blurred - HA!)
The kids were up waaaaaay past their bedtime! We weren't sure if we would even last until the fireworks started, but they both did great! Once they got going, Ella just relaxed in my lap holding her lovey, stared into the sky, and didn't move a muscle for almost 15 minutes!! She loved it. And of course, so did Carter and Ava!
This little girl was beyond pooped!! She fell asleep in the car before we could even get out of the very backed up parking lot!! Carter, on the other hand, refused to go to sleep on the way home, and therefore was up until well past 11!
What a fun day we had! I hope all of you enjoyed your day with your family and friends celebrating our wonderful country and our freedom!!
