Another 4th of July come and gone!

Behind as usual, here is what our 4th of July consisted of.  I absolutely LOVE this holiday!  We always have so much fun celebrating America with friends, fireworks and lots of food!
We started off the celebration by driving down to Sioux City to see Grandma Lori perform with the symphony in a special concert on the Morningside campus.  It was a gorgeous evening to be outside and the boys mostly appreciated the beautiful music!


Then we celebrated on the actual 4th in our usual way, with a pot-luck barbeque with our good friends!  It is always so fun to see how these kids have grown and changed from the year before...and to see if we've added any since the previous year.  A few years ago we had added FIVE babies in just one year...this year it was only one.  Who knows what next year will hold!? 
This year's group - HERE are pics from the last few years

It was such a nice night, probably 20 degrees cooler than last year.  The kids of course still wanted to "swim" but also ran through a bouncy house, set off driveway fireworks and decorated star cookies!




 
 














We of course ended the evening with watching the fireworks display from our friends' driveway.  The boys enjoyed the show and jumped up and down at nearly every firework declaring it their favorite!
