celebrate

Celebrating is just what we did all Fourth of July weekend long!

We started out going to my favorite steak house for my birthday...

The owner brought over her best dessert called "Donna's Devilish Delight"...


On the 3rd I took the boys to a Fourth of July celebration festival...


They had fun checking out the Army and National Guard...

Avery was in 7th heaven...


Frankie enjoyed pretending like he was a fireman...


The boys enjoyed riding a few rides...





And hanging out with grandpa and grandma...


And playing baseball...


We ended the day watching fireworks...


On the Fourth, Leo was so excited to wear his Fourth of July shirt...

Check out the "badge" he is wearing...it is a photo of Vinny...

Leo loves him so much!


We spent the afternoon hanging out with our neighbors, eating, and lighting off fireworks...


Vinners enjoyed hanging out playing...


The boys could not get in enough of the small fireworks...


Frankie was a little apprehensive about all of the noisy fireworks and plugged his ears for awhile...


He started to get warmed up as the evening went on...


He even dared to hold a sparkler!


Our evening finished out with an amazing fireworks show (I think it literally lasted for over an hour)...

I can't wait till next year for more celebrating of the Fourth! It is my favorite holiday!

Hope you had a great one as well...
