Happy 4th of July!!

Happy Fourth of July!!!! Our fourth of July was quiet this year. It was just the four of us and we stayed at home a good portion of the day. It was actually quite relaxing and enjoyable but I did miss seeing extended family.

My favorite part of any holiday is cute-ifying everything...I found a bunch of 4th of July stuff at the dollar store and came up with a cute little bag to give to Ethan and Cameron. Everything was from the dollar store except the scrap book paper. I LOVE the dollar store!







Then I HAD to make some cute and  festive 4th of July food...



Then it was Jared's turn to have fun... playing with fire.

We started with the sparklers. Sparklers are like rough housing...fun until someone gets hurt :). Cameron grabbed the end of a sparkler after it was extinguished before anyone could stop him and he ended up with a mild burn on his finger. Then Jared burned his tumb lighting a sparkler. Other than that, we didn't sustain any further enjuries, thankfully.





Fireworks!!!!!!!!!!

Very cool with the sparklers! And I love your idea for the 4th of July bags. I should really try harder to impress my children with the wonders of the holidays. haha
