July 4th and 5th

It was a very busy weekend, with one party after another! On Sunday we gathered with Nic's family for dinner and FHE (with a patriotic lesson, festive sugar cookies and homemade icecream!) On Monday we gathered with the Bairds for our annual 4th celebration. (Always fun with yummy food, cousins, visiting, ice blocking, and a water slide for the kiddos.)Then on Monday evening we gathered at our home for a little birthday party for Nic's mom, who has passed. Alecia, Nic's sister, brought pictures, letters, old report cards, and a journal of her mom's. It was a priceless evening... and I hope there will be many more like that to come! We also had a rock'n firework show!
