Fourth of July

The 4th of July is a favorite holiday in our house and this year it was just fun. The night before we went to our neighborhood's Cul de Sac of fire. They had bands playing all leading to a huge firework show. Have I mentioned that I love our neighborhood. It was so fun to get to see so many neighbors and meet so many more.  Laine has decided to the music was too loud and plugged her ears the whole time. 

Matty on the other hand decided to show his moves to the whole neighborhood while he was "rocking out".

The next morning the kids seemed unaffected by their late night out and were up and jumping on me in bed around seven. 

So I got up and started the flag cake...we were trying something new this year.

After the cakes were done we went and got pancakes at Village Inn- we are totally American in this house. 

Matty enjoyed his "giant pancakes"

Then we continued our tradition of seeing the latest Pixar movie...Monsters University was hit with our clan.

When we got home I decorated our flag cake...the picture makes it look more oblong than it really is. 

But it was patriotic in side.

We had one last swim party at Uncle Adam and Aunt Amy's

And the kids were good sports to pose for some tradition pictures.

They are good friends these kids. And love playing with each other.

They were having a great time and there were some great giggles.

We watched so fireworks that Grammy and Poppa bought while we waited for the Sugar House Park ones to start.

It was a great busy day and we had a fabulous time.
