This year was pretty low key. When Holidays come and land on a Sunday there is not much festivities we can do. Saturday night we had a BBQ over at our home with family and friends and then we lit off some fireworks. The kids really enjoyed that. The neighborhood kids seemed to gather on our back patio where we set them off. My boys were so excited for sparklers. Yes, sparklers and colored smoke and all those ridiculously cheep fireworks that they so proudly picked out themselves. It seems like the older you get the more laid back the holidays seem. Maybe that is why we have children around to keep it alive and exciting. That is what it was this year. Owen didn't see any because he was pretty much crabby the whole weekend. He goes to bed at 7pm anyways so we were content to put him in his crib and wake away. He was happy that way too. He has been teething so it has been no fun for all of us.
Sunday we went over to my parents home with all the extended family for a family dinner. There were lots of people, lots of food and fun fireworks for everyone.
Then when everyone was in bed Lance, John and I climbed up onto our roof and watched everyone else light off their fireworks. The illegal one seem to be the most entertaining.
Hope you had a happy 4th.
Oh and another positive to our 4th, my sister-in-law Lesa just had their 4th little girl. I'm an aunt again. That makes 3 new nieces and nephews within the last month. Congratulations Paul and Lesa! We love you! Can't wait to meet her when we come to Utah in a few weeks.

Oh, I'm jealous you guys climbed up on your roof! I really wanted to do that with Patrick when Macie was in bed, but our nights were always filled with other things so we never got a chance. I'm sorry about your teething, sad baby. We have a cranky teething baby at our house, too, so I know how that goes. Hopefully they will both be happy again soon!
