This year to celebrate the Fourth of July we had a full day!
It started with breakfast at church, but before we could get there (already late of course) we found this...
 |
| Yes, that's my 2nd flat tire in less than a week! |
Then, we got ready and went out on the lake with April & Travis. Nora loved it! It was a world of difference than the last time she went (when she had a fever and Roseola). It helped that we got to ride around in the boat instead of just the go/stop of pulling tubers and skiers.

| Thanks Aunt Karen for the perfect blue & white swim suit! |
After we were finished boating, we came home. Nora got a nap in while Aaron enjoyed Transformers with my brother, Xan. Of course that was when the storm hit us. Luckily, it passed quickly and we voted for pizza instead of grilling out. Then, we headed to The Dellingers' house for the festivities. I'd guess there was more than $500 worth of fireworks there between the men. Don't worry, they all bargain shopped and got good deals!

Nora enjoyed all of her 4th of July outfits. 1 of them being her last year's dress. =) (Pillowcase dresses do fit for a while.) Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of her (any of the 3 times she wore it this weekend!). Her favorite accessory though, her new red cowboy boots.
 |
| Thanks PawPaw & Dee Dee for the outfit! |

| Jenny's picture captures her perfectly! |
Hope everyone else had a great holiday as well! We are so blessed and grateful for this country we live in!
