It was so exciting to get to celebrate another 4th with so many close friends here at the house! The kids have been looking forward to this weekend for a long time now, and the countdown this week was pretty much excruciating for them. Knowing they were going to get to have friends sleeping over and fireworks! It was almost too much! I’m so glad the rain pretty much held off and didn’t ruin everything. And, it wasn’t painfully hot either. It was just all around a great weekend with family and friends.

The whole weekend appears to revolve around food!!!! So much food. lol.

Rachael had a great idea for us all to get together for a picture this time!

Everyone chipped in on fireworks for the kids (and some big ones for the adults), which, I’m pretty sure they were all pretty darned stoked about!

And from here on down I just have a lot of pictures of kids with sparklers! :) I honestly love kids with sparkler photos! Even when they appear to be a little afraid of them.

Lol. The guys started setting off a large battery behind her.
