Fun on the Fourth!

The Fourth of July is always reason for celebration around our house. I keep the house decorated in it's Americana decor all summer long, and love to put out our flag! The kids look so forward to all of the celebrations. We got them all dressed up in their red, white and blue outfits, and loaded up plenty of snacks. We went to the parade in Provo with all of our cousins, and then hit the fireworks later that night! It was so fun laying on the lawn with the kids as they "oohhed and ahhhed" over the "ginormous" fireworks. They love to call out the colors as they explode in the sky! Chase, being the perfect little baby that he is, slept through the whole thing. Sydnie takes claim over it all as part of her extended birthday celebration, and it gives us one more excuse to hang out with the cousins and be with our wonderful family! It couldn't have been a more perfect day to celebrate family and freedom...two of our most precious gifts.
