Every year my parents have a 4th of July party, and every year we have a GREAT time. Mom and Dad live across the street from the city park, where the local firework display and celebration occur. Their house is a great place to congregate and watch the show. Some years we've had as many as 50 friends on the driveway. Each person brings a side and Mom and Dad always prepare the hamburgers and hot dogs - let me tell you we have A LOT of great food, and this year was no different. I've never seen so many great desserts - pies, fruit salads, cakes, brownies, etc! None of which is on the diet of a woman still trying to lose her last 10 pregnancy pounds!The evening itself actually turned out decent, too. A breeze rolled in and everyone stayed relatively comfortable, even Mr. Cole! I must say, Cole did really well through the fireworks. The only time he got fussy was right at the end when the displays were progressively getting louder and closer together. I know it will only be a matter of time before fireworks won't bother him at all, and he'll be throwing pops at my feet in hopes to watch me "dance"!
Check out some of the pics from the evening!
Cole's first 4th of July was truly special. He was very handsome and patriotic in his flag shirt. All the mamas look so good with their little ones...the crowd has grown and new friendships are beginning. The grandparents and JT seem to be very proud, too. God bless America and all our guests!
