Fireworks tend to be a big deal around this house. It’s safe
to say July 4th or New Year’s Eve might be some of our favorite
holidays, simply because that gives Dan the excuse to purchase a barrage of explosives
and legally set them off. Each year I think it’s a goal to top the purchase
expense from the previous year, and if it’s not a goal, we’ve certainly
unintentionally accomplished it. Long story short, we love them and our kids
are following suit too. Grayson was able to not only watch this year, but also
partake. He LOVED it! Making memories for years, for sure!
This 4th we had our typical troop in attendance
and we undoubtedly made it a great holiday! Delaney stayed up almost 2 hours late
and Grayson made it to 3 hours past bedtime. And one would never know; they
were having so much fun that there wasn’t 1 fuss or complaint. The arrival of
a few yawns prompted their departure, so I’m sure next year we’ll do even
better.
It was a perfect Independence Day.
Below are a ton of pictures, but there are some additional
ones HERE. So make sure to check those out too!
Happy Birthday America!

In sharp contrast...Grayson is all smiles, knowing what's coming up
Dr. Firework and Mini-Me:
He's so excited!!!
Uncle Chris comforts a nervous Delaney
"Daddy, RED PARACHUTES!!" One of Grayson's top 5 fireworks!
Delaney: "Whoa!"
The girls...yes, she's not wearing shoes. She's half Arkansan and born in South Carolina = it's in her DNA.
To be fair, she did start out with a pair. :-)
Have I mentioned how much I love their sibling affection?
She's super excited now!

Best buds
Pop the smoke! Smoke-style, peek-a-boo!
Sparklers!!
Laney and Momma observe from a distance for a few
Son, I give you FIRE!
BOOM!
Ok, I'll go to bed now...
Laney's in bed, Grayson is going strong...let's go launch some more fireworks!
