Happy 4TH!

We had a great shindig at our place this evening! Thanks to everyone for coming and those of you who did not make it . . . you were missed! Here's some pics!What's better than celebrating our freedom with food, friends, and fellowship!

Lolly, Tia and Mommy Lion ~ Pop trying out his new camera!

The kids waiting for everyone to show up. Little Pumpkin climbed into the trailer and just waited to be drove around ~ such a diva! Who could resist Little Lion's welcoming face!?!

Free entertainment!

For both Pop and the kids! *wink*

The kids love him, and he so silly ~ thanks for all the fun things!

Little Lamb ~ don't worry I think she likes it better by herself sometimes~

no one telling her how to do it! *wink*

Is that a smile on camera!?! *smile*

She loves the water and was so proud of herself for getting the diving sticks

~ even in 6 inches of water!

I love this pic. We have a finger play that we do. Eye winker, Tom tinker, Nose dropper, Mouth Eater, Chin Chopper . . . Chin chopper chin (while tickling). When Little Pumpkin does it, it's just nose dropper and grab for the jugular! Still fun that she is mimicking.

Miss A ~ such a cutie! Last year she was just a month old WOW how the year goes by.

It was too sweet seeing these two. Their age difference seems big sometimes, but soon we won't even notice it! They will be the best of buds I'm sure.

Mr. A with his glow stick and I'm not sure about the helmet! *wink*

Big Luke is so cool! He was a hard one to catch tonight ~ must be tired of the camera, mom *smile*!

Gator never shy around the camera~ a true diva! If this was a full body shot, you'd get the complete pose! *smile*

Here she is doing a roman candle with Mr A's dad! He was so good about helping the kids out with the fireworks ~ thanks for sharing your fireworks tonight!

I'm pretty sure I have this exact picture from last year! I'm done with the morning glory sparklers. . . back to the old fashion wire ones! What's a few burns when you get the real thing!

We had a great time and hope all our friends did too. We'll do it all again next year ~ hopefully you'll join us too! *SMILE*

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!
