GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
4th of July comes in at a tie for my favorite holiday!!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! The American pride celebrated with all things red, white, and blue has me waking up likes its Christmas morning! I love that the day is spent with all things family. I love watching the kids play outside while snacking on watermelon, strawberries, and Popsicle's. I love spending time with family and the biggest worry being "what can I bring?". I LOVE watching my nephew and nieces run around with my babies and remembering them just a few short years ago at that age.
I LOVE ending the night sitting in a chair next to Aaron and snuggled up to the kids trying to decide which firework is our favorite.
Sitting here thinking about it makes me LOVE it even more because each year has been so different for us. With different friends and in different places. That's what makes it so AWESOME!
The 4th of July is a holiday that celebrates LIFE. Celebrates FAMILY. Celebrates FRIENDS. Celebrates Freedom.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
Lovin' the patriotic berries
Pop Its with Uncle Scott

Aaron thinks he got away without a star glasses pic but I have secret plans :)
"Oh the things Kelli will get me to do"

| Andrew needed to go inside and cool off so I took the opportunity for a little cuddle time :) |
 |
| Row Row Row Your Boat and a little UNO with Tori , so sweet |
OK, so as I mentioned earlier I L.O.V.E. fireworks!!!! I envisioned loving fireworks with my kids. Andrew was really scared in the beginning which made it not so fun! After a little pep talk with Daddy by the time they really started he was fine, but for a while I thought I was going to spend the fireworks through a car window. In the end, they loved them! One of my favorite parts is Claire telling Andrew, " I told ya Andrew. Told ya" Over and Over again. She wasn't scared one bit, but that doesn't surprise me at all.
By the end of the night Andrew said his favorite was the loud ones that went boom!! Kids!
The Seccombe's - Tori, she was hangin' with The Glass'
