We had our annual July 4th party at Tony and Laurie Gryseels' house this year! This is something we look forward to each year and is one of our most favorite Lake Jackson traditions! This year there were over 100 people there, and we all hung out on their driveway, in the house and in the backyard. It was so much fun!
Just a shot of the driveway with everyone sitting eating. Tony and Laurie cook all the meat and we all bring sides and desserts. It is incredible how much food is there!
We love having our Michelle here with us!! So fun to get to do all this stuff with her and introduce her to our favorite LJ traditions.
The girls ate a LOT of sweets! Check out Kendall's chocolate face! :)
Kristin and me
My sweet bug. Sorry her mouth is full!! Eating is one of the only times I can get her to sit still! She had so much fun at the party, running around and visiting with everyone!
Sarah and Kendall ready for fireworks! Laurie had every light-up, fourth of July thing you could imagine from Oriental Trading, so the driveway looked so fun once it got dark! The girls both loved the fireworks this year! Our city has an awesome show and we missed it last year because of the drought. Kendall seriously talked about wanting to see fireworks after July 4th for about another 3 months. She loved getting to see them this year! This was Cooper's first year to get to see fireworks since we didn't have them last year! We weren't sure if she would like them or not but she thought they were so fun! I was holding her and kept asking her if she liked the fireworks and she would point to herself and say "Mine." I guess she thought those fireworks were for her!
We had a wonderful July 4th!
