4th of July

 My hott Hubby & our precious littlest baby girl!

We had a wonderful 4th of July!  A few of us still had colds so we couldn't go to church or hang out with friends like we had planned but we had so much fun as a family anyway!  I tried really hard to make it special for our girls because by Friday I could tell that we still wouldn't be well enough to have our BBQ with friends on Sunday.  We started out by Daddy making chocolate chip pancakes, painted fingernails, watched a movie & ate popcorn,  did 4th themed coloring & word activities while Mommy cooked & Daddy played with little Miss (Ani) Bella Bug, ate LOTS of yummy food, then Daddy read aloud about Independence day from this fun website called "kaboose", we got out our copy of the Declaration of Independence & our girls read along with Daddy, we went & did a little photo shoot by a cool water tower that says, "City of Cocoa" with the American Flag, played in the fountains at a park, ate dinner at home (LEFT OVERS!), ate our fun "flag cake" & did sparklers in our yard!  It was a very full but very fun day!

I'm so grateful to God to live in our country & to enjoy the amazing freedom & rich blessings that we have every day!  I'm also SO very grateful to have my amazing best friend & Hubby & our 5 precious little girlies & my sweet little sidekicks to share this wonderful life with!

WARNING!     : ) There are a LOT of pictures in this slide show!  I included them all because I want our very loved & missed far-away family (& friends who are like family!), who we don't get to share everyday life & fun holidays with, to be able to see our little sweeties!  Our hearts are SO WISHing you were all here to share life with us!
