Perfect 4th!

I could not have asked for a better 4th of July!  This is definitely becoming one of my favorite holidays.  This year we were all about starting our annual family 4th traditions.

We kicked off the festivities with the first annual Bella Terra block party with our favorite neighbors.  We seriously have the most amazing neighbors.  And J&H are so lucky to have some of their best friends live just a block away.

Lots of food, friends and fireworks!

After hours of fireworks it was clean up time.  For some reason it cracked me up that we were all outside sweeping the streets, in the dark, using a truck's headlights as a flashlight, after midnight. 

 

After a fun July 3rd evening, we were up bright and early for the Edmond 4th of July parade.

 

Of course we had to decorate our double wide for the occasion

After the parade we relaxed in the pool for the afternoon.  Over two hours of naps for the babies and adult swim in the pool.  Then baby time . . .

 

 

And after a full day of 4th festivities we watched the sunset and fireworks from our backyard. Great way to end a perfect day!

 

 

We pulled our lawn chairs to the back of the yard, turned on Pandora, and watched the fireworks all around us until after midnight!  Perk of living in the country!

 

Happy 4th of July!  We are truly blessed to be living the American dream!
