Celebrating our Independence!!

We spent our 4th of July on the other side of our neighborhood at our dear friends, the Engels.

The evening began with dinner…..

Then after a quick run back to the fireworks store (the daddies were having quite a bit of fun!!) and putting the younger kids to bed – we enjoyed ice cream cones and the real show!!

You gotta love holidays and a good excuse to get together!!
We truly are blessed to live in a free country - definitely take it for granted!!

Thanks for having us Engel family!!!
