Good morning! Happy 245th birthday, America! Flag waffles before church…


The annual 4th of July picture!!!

Lunch and play for the kids… Getting ready for company for mom!


We were so excited our friends decided to join us for the evening!



Dinner was awesome! Our friends brought meat to grill, and we did the sides and dessert. They also brought a ton of fireworks, which the boys dug into right after dinner.


The girls just laughed and sang all night! Then it was time for the bike track… Malachi was beyond thrilled that his friends’ parents would bring their bikes to go down with them. Such awesome people!



We walked down to the cul-de-sac, which had a ton of people and an amazing show. They even let Xavi light a few. His favorite was the machine gun, which he held in his hand!




We came back to do ice cream sundaes and decided to stay and watch from our own driveway as well as light off the big stash our friends brought.




It was wonderful… and exhausting!! Great time had by all!
