HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!

This year for Fourth of July we decided to just hang here at our house. Nick really wanted to do fireworks that night...even though they are technically banned in Firethorne. We invited our neighbors over for dinner and also my friend Brenda and her hubby Brock. We had many traditionally American foods, and I made sopapilla cheesecake for dessert which is one of our family's favs. :) It was really nice getting to hang with everyone as a smaller group. Nick and I took turns watching little man Ry so we could both have some adult time. Once Ryker was down, we all moved out front to the driveway to watch the local fireworks. Nick got to put on his own fireworks show. :) He was so happy. I think we all had a good time, and Nick and I decided to make it an annual thing at our house. Nick even accompanied me to Hobby Lobby the next morning to look for marked down Americana items. We stocked up for next year! Can't wait!
