Let Freedom Ring!

We had a great 4th of July weekend.  We started our festivities on Sunday, having a BBQ with some family that we don't get to see very often.  My great-aunt June, great-uncle Rob and cousins; Joel, Chantil, Robyn, Brandon, Nicole, and Carly.  We had a wonderful time catching up and meeting some of the spouses for the first time.  We were also celebrating Nicole's birthday, hence the cupcake face.


Thank you Lowe family for including us in your celebration!

On Monday we had a BBQ with my dad, step-mom, and a few other friends.  The kids really enjoyed the fireworks this year, so that was a lot of fun.  Justin really enjoyed being able to light all of the fireworks this year!

She is also pretty excited about hers




Brave enough to play with sparklers this year!

Still getting used to it.

We are so grateful for our freedom and appreciate being able to reflect on the fact while spending time with family and friends.  Thank you everyone for celebrating with us!
