Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July!

We started off our long weekend with plans to have a backyard BBQ with friends…well the weather had alternate plans! Just as everyone got settled outside and the grill was fired up it decided to pour rain, so we hustled to move the party inside.I had great intentions to take more pictures but along with the yucky weather I also ended up having 2 little ones who felt under the weather and I spent most of the party attending to them (not what I had in mind for our big bash, but then again it never really goes as planned.)

We had a great time, despite the disappointing weather & sick kids, hanging out with good friends. I used the super cute 4th of July downloads from Tweedle Dee Designs for some of the party details. Here are some pics from the party:

We celebrated today by having our family over for dinner.

Then we headed out to watch the fireworks with friends. The kids had lots of fun. They played with snap pops, sparklers and enjoyed more than their share of goodies.Hope you all had a lovely 4th of July weekend with your loved ones. Thank you to all the men and women who serve and protect our beautiful country.
