4th of July and Family Fun

Sisterly love

We had a great 4th of July holiday. We spent the morning at church and running a few errands with the girls. After naps we headed to my sister-in-laws (Alisha) birthday celebration at her moms house. We had a great time with family and Zoe loved playing hide and seek with all the cousins. Happy Birthday Alisha!

After the party we headed home to put Sophie to bed. We let Zoe stay up to watch fire works for the first time. A church less than 2 miles from the house was having a fireworks show so we  were able to sit in comfort of our own backyard and watch them. They started about 8:30pm and lasted till 9pm. Zoe was really not too sure about them. She was scared of the loud noises so she sat in our laps the entire time but she did enjoy watching them by the end. After they were over it was off to bed for her, about and hour and half later than normal. She did great.

The 4th is also John's dads birthday. We didn't get to celebrate with him since he lives in New Hampshire but John did wish him a happy birthday on the phone. Happy Birthday dad!

It was a great day to reflect on how great our country is and how blessed we are to have our worldly freedoms living in the United States as well as spiritual freedom in Christ. Even with all the political issues in our country we still are very blessed and I am so thankful for that. I thank my dad (Army), Uncle Mike (Marines), grandpa Crowley (Army), and my grandpa Brusch (Navy)  for serving our country. And for all the other men and women who have served and are serving our country we are indebted to you. Thank you!

Happy Birthday to us as a country!
