Happy 4th of July!

 
This year we hosted Independence Day at our house.  We found out it's the perfect place!  We have AMAZING fireworks all around us as soon as it's get dark.
 
My cousin and her family were in town from CO so we had a pretty big crowd- we all used to spend the 4th together when we were young so our celebration brought back great memories.
 
We started the day with a cookout and water balloons!  Craig spent hours filling water balloons and these 3 boys blew through them in about 10 mins and were ready for more!

Waiting for their turn to catch a parachute- so sweet all lined up and excited!


 
My mom's traditional homemade ice cream!!

Love this picture of Mia and her 'cousins' watching the fireworks.


 
The best family picture we could get...it was after 10pm so I guess Mia was so tired she needed to hold her head up!

 
My little diva...don't mind the ice cream stains all down her dress!

 
Happy Independence Day!
