Fabulous Fourth!


I love The Fourth of July! It really is a FABULOUS holiday...Yes, it's is a great time to get together with family and friends, have a BBQ and watch fireworks, but more importantly, it is a great reminder of how blessed we are live in this nation and to be able to enjoy the liberties we do. I love seeing the all flags displayed throughout the neighborhood. To me there is nothing more breathtaking than the the American Flag, blowing in the wind with the sun setting behind it. I am grateful to every man and woman who has served our country to defend and protect this precious land...starting with my dad! "Thank you" is NOT enough!

This year Nick and Chelsea had all of the family over to celebrate. It was so much fun! We barbecued, made smores and watched fireworks from their front yard. Thank you Chels and Nick! It was the perfect Fourth. Here are a few photos of the celebration.

I know Bry and Bre missed watching the fireworks off the East River from their NYC apartment, but I hope watching fireworks with their families helped some. (It helped us!)
Happy 233 Birthday America!!!
