The 4th of July is such a fun holiday to celebrate our freedom with friends and family. I am a huge fan of summer get-togethers, and when you add fireworks into the mix...it's a party! This year, we had a lot going on with the house and some unforeseen disasters (more on that later...this is a happy post!) so it was nice to relax with two of our favorite families with good food and cheap entertainment (our kiddos). Daniel and I had come to a stopping point on the back porch/yard progress while we waited for the concrete contractor to add drains, railing, etc. I was even able to add some plants/flowers to pretty it up a bit before the party.
My husbands twin has two adorable girls. When we all get together, the kids play like siblings (see picture above...this was one of about 10 like this). It makes our job as parents so much easier!! Our other friends that came have a son that was born a week prior to Larkin. Yes, we are planning their life together -- it's fine.

We had good food and conversation until it got close to bedtime for the kiddos. Then it was time for pajamas and smore's! My little family walked down to the fireworks a few blocks away. They don't start until 10:00, but the kids were still awake from all of the excitement sugar, so they were ready!
God bless the USA and the brave people that allow us to live in this beautiful world.
