We had a wonderful (week of) 4th of July Celebration. My favorite holiday is Christmas, and I have finally figured out that Monte's must be July 4th. We did fireworks almost every night in the week leading up to the 4th. We did save the good stuff until our main celebration, but we had fun all week.
We invited my siblings up for a celebration on the 3rd. We decided that since nobody (except Monte) had to work the next day, it would be better to celebrate on the 3rd. I wish I had taken a picture of the amount of fireworks the boys (and Lexie) blew up. It was insane!
I bought a fun cookbook for kids at our school's book fair, and I found this delicious cookie recipe. Oh my goodness, it was wonderful!! (and very easy) --I'll put the recipe on the food blog if I can remember the password ;)
Carter loved this little firework train. We did them almost every night. This night he decided to play with it for a while before we shot it off. He would push it up the hill and let it roll back to him. (Don't worry, he was not this close to it when we shot it off.)
Okay, now that I look at this picture Lexie is in trouble. Where are her shoes?!
Lydia and Carter were so excited to see each other. They were more interested in playing with each other than in watching the fireworks. By the end of the night, Carter's toy room had been moved outside.
Ofelia, Lexie, Angie, and Zane
(Notice Lexie changed... and put shoes on.)
On the afternoon of the 4th, we went to my parents' house for a cookout. I was in such a rush that I forgot my camera, but we had so much fun. I love hanging out with my family. And of course the food was wonderful!! Later that night, we finished shooting off some small stuff we had left over from the night before and then just relaxed and watched all of the fireworks in our neighborhood. They were pretty amazing!
Carter woke up on the 4th ready to make cupcakes to take to Granny and Poppy's house. This boy LOVES to cook!!
His favorite part is cracking the eggs. He is getting very good at it, too. I only had to take out one teeny piece of shell.

Half way through making the cupcakes, he realized he didn't have his apron on. I didn't think it mattered since he was still in his jammies, but he INSISTED on wearing his apron.
Obviously he was satisfied with is results. Yep, he had a cupcake for breakfast :)

Looks like a good weekend! Love all of the pics. You have quite a little chef on your hands. I want the recipe for those cookies. They look YUMMY.
Thank you soooo much for inviting us up!!! We had a great time and definitely need to get together more. Maybe we should start a game night...we should try again ;). The cookies rocked. Maybe between the two of us we can figure out that password. Love ya lots!!
