The 4th of July

This 4th of July held extra special meaning to our family this year. The kids and I were here celebrating our freedom while Michael is in Iraq serving our country.

The kids and I hung out at home all morning then headed to a friends house for a barbecue in the afternoon.



Little Miss wouldn't let me take her picture like her brother



But I was really proud of her hair-do and hair bow I made her! Her hair was sectioned off and accessorized with red, white & blue hair ties!



We attempted to get on post to see Dierks Bentley in concert, but decided to return home to watch the fireworks on post from our porch.



We stopped for snacks since we couldn't find a parking spot at the fest on post.







While waiting for the fireworks to start we had a mini photo session!







My Mom made these awesome cards for the kids and I







Inside was a special note along with some star confetti





So that's what we did





Great idea Mom, the kids loved it! (And I hope you don't mind that I shared!)

The pictures of the fireworks aren't great, but I just wanted to show you how close our house was to the show!





I hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

So much fun! Abigail's hair looked adorable, I'm amazed she sat still long enough to have it loo so neat! Although I am a little sad that you didn't have chocolate smeared on your face in the group shot!

The card from you mom was perfect. Such a sweet idea, glad to see the kids loved the stars.
