fourth of july celebration










Our fourth of July celebration greeted us with fifty degree weather, overcast skies, and a light wind, but we didn't let that stop us from celebrating. There were a couple extra kids running around but we kept them all busy with badminton and the trampoline.













I had started the evening wearing this ensemble, then switched to a fun variation of that same outfit, but then finally gave up and just put a sweatshirt over everything. At least I was warm and toasty!












I never can think up enough commentary for giant photo posts like this, but I always love giving a little break to make the massive post a little more bearable ... but the truth is, the photos really speak for themselves. (And trust me, you should be glad I cut down the nearly 200 photos from the party to only 41.)












(Obligatory photo break here) Hahaha I'm funny. But really, it was a super fun day, despite the cold weather. Yummy food, fun people, what more can you ask for?












I hope you all had a fun time celebrating as well and have a great day today!

p.s. my family is going on a little vacation this weekend, but I have a couple posts lined up so the only thing you'll be missing are 365 photos.

happy birthday, America!

Happy fourth of July, everyone! And happy Independence Day to my American friends. Usually I am just now waking up around this time, but my dad woke everyone up early to clean the house for our party celebration super fun time tonight. I had a little bit of extra time to photograph my outfit; look at me being all productive!





It's crazy to think that hundreds of years ago, a group of people stood up against all odds because they believed in something bigger than themselves. I wonder what the founding fathers would think of our little country today ... regardless of your political stand, I'd say this place is pretty alright. I'm so thankful to live here.





Right now I'm eating pizza snacks and watching America's Funniest Home Videos. Yep, this is America.





I hope you all have a safe and fun fourth of July!
