We started off the 4th of July celebration with fireworks on the 3rd. Thankfully they were just down the street over the lake which was just beautiful. The show was spectacular and we had a wonderful time despite the heat.
The next morning we got busy preparing for a day full of entertaining. Regan and Sidney just love to get in the spirit of things with various Red/White/Blue snacks and desserts.
These are so darn yummy and absolutely delicious! The only thing I did was melt the chocolate and clean the strawberries. The girls take over from there. I'm sensing a lot more kitchen activities in our future.
Regan loves the flag cake and asks to make it every year. Good thing everyone likes to eat the jello-poke cake under the flag too.
We spent the bulk of the day poolside of course. Well actually, the smart ones spent the day IN the pool...only one crazy who decided sitting on the deck all day would be a better idea. Crazy man!
The girls simply adore Amy. Once Regan saw her floating around on the boat, she had to climb in too. They chatted away the afternoon and Regan soaked in the love from Amy.
My mom came up super early in the day and we had a girls morning. Coffee, a parade and lots of water! THANKS MOM!
While I know that sparklers aren't the safest thing for a 6 year old, she did well and quickly learned to just drop the whole thing if it felt too hot. No burns this year.....
...well, the KIDS didn't get burned. But the two "kids at heart" shown below maybe did.
Their laughter was child-like as they raced away from a lit firework or ridiculously loud firecracker.
Boys will be boys. At least it was a good show in our driveway. Way to go boys.
My sweet baby girl with noodle curls out of each pony thanks to the humidity.
No curling necessary.
We hope everyone had a wonderful and safe 4th of July!
