Happy 4th!

I know it is a little late, but happy Independence Day! We spent the holiday with my family having a BBQ and fireworks.

It was very low key, which was nice. My sister has a fetish with photography right now, so since we all happened to be wearing matching outfits, she decided that we needed a sisters-only photoshoot. I don't think we have had a picture with all of us sisters since I got married, so it was fun to have one.

My mom invited several friends from their neighborhood over while they did fireworks, which was fun. It is fun to watch all the little kids get so excited with the fireworks and sparklers and to remember how it used to be when I was young. It seemed like we had so many of my friends over and we had such a great time watching the firework show that our dads would put on while we danced around with the sparklers.

I don't want to get all gushy, but I really do enjoy this holiday. It is such a great time to reflect on how appreciative I am to live in this country and to be able to enjoy all of the freedoms that we have been blessed with. I really am thankful that I am so blessed to live in this great country!
