Five Years of Celebration and No One was Hurt

There is a lot going on this holiday weekend. As many of you, we have plans to spend time with family celebrating our nations birth.
If the weather holds there will be time at the beach, cook outs and hopefully fireworks.
But before any of that begins, I thought it would be cool to look back at the 4th of July of years past.

Here they are, 5 years of 4th of July actives
since Jeff and I have become parents.

Top Right Corner:
Hayden's first 4th of July with Gigi at Keller's

Bottom Right Corner:
Hayden's second 4th of July at Keller's and his first real swim in the lake.

Bottom middle and going up:
The babies second 4th of July but first time in the sand at the beach and Hayden, now an old pro at this holiday stuff.

Top Middle:
First 4th of July for the babies. Jake and Claire came home from the hospital. It gave independence day a whole new meaning
(Quinn came home two days later).

Center photo:
Just last year. Hayden and Jeff waiting for Fireworks. Hayden's first time seeing them but all he wanted to do was go home and go to bed.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday.
I can't wait to see what adventures this year's celebration brings.

Happy 4th of July.

Happy 4th!

We celebrated a day early, since I have to work tomorrow night. Luckily our little town obliges my schedule, and always holds their celebration on the 3rd. Isn't that sweet of them?

Love the pictures! Wonder what the babies will think of the fireworks this year?
