God Bless America!

We had such an AMAZING Fourth of July weekend! Long weekends at home are something that we never can have enough of. Having Ryan home for an extra day is definitely a treat for me and Pierson. Although the weather was not ideal, we made the most of the dry time we had.

We started the celebration at the Hillman's house with some swimming, playing and of course FOOD!

Pierson probably had an entire hot dog bun stored in those cheeks! Reminded us of her Uncle Cody :)

Trying out all the push toys she could find. All at once!

Playtime with mom

We then headed out to Ridgewood to get our spot for the fireworks. We decided to keep Pierson up WAY past her bedtime and let her partake in her very first firework show!

She was having a blast running around on the golf course pre-fireworks and playing with her friends, Jack, Landry and Caleb.

Being silly with Mrs. Sarah

She was literally running herself in circles :)

Clearly staying up late wasn't bothering her too much!

Such a fun time together as a family!!!!

Pierson did great with the fireworks. Once she got over the initial noise, she was locked in on the beautiful display. She even started saying "boom, boom" after each one.

Finishing it up with daddy.

I absolutely LOVE weekends like this. Getting to spend some treasured time together as a family and fun times with great friends is such a blessing from God and we are so thnakful!
