Independence Day 2013

We love holidays, we love family time and we love our country! Our fourth was as perfect as it gets. We began celebrating a few days before by doing red, white and blue crafts, painting our nails, having a fun play date with our friend Noah and Max and baking festive cookies and having a fun "star" shaped lunch. The morning of the fourth we made fun toast that looked like a flag with cream cheese, strawberry jam, strawberries, bananas and blueberries. It was tastylicious! Afterwards we went to the Murray Parade and had the best seats and the weather was perfect thanks to the rain the night before.Sage loved collecting (and eating) the candy they threw at us and waving to the princesses. Harper enjoyed people watching. When we got home Taylor and Sage went swimming while Harper and I fixed pasta salad for the BBQ later that day and also put together a surprise lunch of star shaped grilled cheese, star shaped watermelon, star jello jigglers and a red, white and blue drink. After lunch we all rested and napped and then played a game of BINGO together and got ready to see all the cousins and grandma and papa. We ate yummy food and Sage loved running around with her cousins. We played a couple games of volleyball too. Harper was an angel as always! Sugarhouse was a zoo so we ended up watching the Murray Fireworks. We had a great spot on the grass and enjoyed the show. Sage loved it. She kept yelling, "look!" and yelling out all the colors she saw. Last Four of July we announced to our families we were expecting a new lil sparkler. We sure are grateful for our two lil sparklers. We are so blessed in so many ways! We are so grateful for those past and present that make our freedom possible.
