What a great day we had celebrating our country's Independence. Thankful to live in the U.S.A. Our country is way off of it's moral compass, but I am still proud to be an American and proud of the values on which our country was founded. We must pray without ceasing for our country.
Our day started with Michael and Adam going to the Friendswood 4th of July parade. Ella and I stayed home to prepare for the rest of the day and for her to nap, but she only slept for a little bit ~ too much excitement! No pictures from the parade since I wasn't there to take them, boo. :(
We hosted the Richards Reunion this year and had a couple of friends/neighbors join us too as honorary Richards for the day, The Forester and Baker families. Adam smoked a brisket & sausage and baked a peach cobbler from peaches off our peach tree ~ he's a keeper! I made a few patriotic desserts and everybody brought side dishes. I played a few patriotic tunes from my play list and we all had a grand time! The kiddos were too pooped to stay up for fireworks...we'll make it next year.
My little firecrackers!
A little red, white and blue festive fun...
All of The Richards Family....well almost, Ella Grace was sleeping (but not for long, too much partying going on !).
Playing a hot game of "Ticket to Ride." Sommer was the big winner!
And as you can see, Michael was with Billy...that boy LOVES his cousin Billy!
