52 Days: Fourth of July [Results]

MY results: Usually on the Fourth of July, we have a cookout and set off fireworks at our house. It rained all day, so we didn't end up doing the fireworks this year. We watched the NY fireworks on TV but it wasn't the same. I think we're going to set them off sometime in the next few weeks. Despite the fact that there were no fireworks, we still had a blast!

My dad grilling in the rain. Haha.

Our lovely assortment of food.

The Stumpfs came over for the festivities. We decided to start a new tradition of Christmas in July. Brenton is Santa. :)

We made some cupcakes and cakes with flowers on them to pass out to continue with our flower challenge from day 1. We delivered them wearing our Christmas hats. It was quite funny.

Mmmm....

Debbi and Ken matched. Aren't they cute?

Hahaha. Because we're awesome like that..

Thank you Timothy for fighting for our country!

I always spend time being grateful for the people in the Armed Forces, and remember those who I'm related to, like my Dad, grandfather, and uncles, cousins, etc."

Kaiti and Chris went to the Balloon Festival and Air Show. I'm quite jealous of the awesome pictures that they got there. I may have to make it a tradition for me to go too. LOL.
