Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July! We spent our day attending church that morning, eating watermelon that afternoon, and watching fireworks again that night. We had a very nice, relaxing extended weekend with the family.


The family outside of church on Sunday morning. We were all dressed in our red, white, and blue for Independence Day.

I love this little girl so much ... she brings such joy and happiness to our lives! Addison is being patriotic by wearing her red, white, and blue dress to church.

This was Addison's first time eating watermelon. Last July 4th she was only 3 months old so she wasn't old enough to enjoy any, but this year she is 14 months old and got to try some. I don't think she enjoyed it that much or it might have been more difficult to eat compared to some other fruits she enjoys eating. She looks cute anyways trying her piece of watermelon!

Miss Red, White, and Blue! She looks so cute in all her clothes and it's so hard not to take pictures of her!

I thought this was a cute picture of her watching the fireworks.
Below are some pictures of the fireworks from Sunday night.

We had fun watching the fireworks and are so thankful for all the men and women who put their lives on the line everyday to protect our country. God Bless the USA and the soliders who protect us!

Fireworks

It's Independence Day and we celebrated the day by watching fireworks in Opelika and in Auburn on different nights. We were dressed in our red, white, and blue and enjoyed seeing all the pretty fireworks. It is truly wonderful that we live in a country that is the land of the free and the home of the brave. Thank you to all the men and women, young and old, for serving our country and allowing Americans to enjoy the country known as the land of the free. I personally do not have any family members in service, but I have had grandparents and cousins who have served in previous years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those in service and their families too ... God Bless!

They had skydivers and this is a picture of one of them waving an American Flag.
