I thought I’d better share with you a few snapshots of our splendid Fourth of July celebration before the month was actually over. I’m still waiting on a few photos that my little sis took of us that I will of course post later.
I was so happy with how all the boys ensembles turned out. I managed to throw something on the sewing machine for myself the day before festivities began. It never got a zipper so I had to layer a bit but it all worked out…more or less.
and of course we can’t forget the much talked about m&m display. It was all worth it, right?
We had a delicious time munching on ears of barbecued corn, dipping bread in various olive oil concoctions, sampling delectable slices of razzleberry, lemon meringue, strawberry and apple pie, and of course scooping up chocolatey crunchy goodness that most definitely melted in our hands as well as our mouths. The littles played rounds of miniature golf (the course of which was handmade by the sweat of Grandfather and father’s brows), swam in pools, competed in chalkboard tic-tac-toe tournaments and most of all enjoyed eachother’s company. Later there were of fire works, rocket launches, serenades and pj parties.
It was a grand ole time and the perfect way to kick off the summer.
Adorable outfits. Amazing.
