2015 Fourth of July...

We started the day bright and early with a red, white, and blue breakfast.  

Rissy is our little miss 4th of July.

 This baby is our firework.  

The neighborhood has a parade.  It has doubled in size from last year.  That is a good sign - more families are moving in!

Nap time! Everyone was hot and tired by 10:45.

 I had my hair done on Friday.  I had to document it because no hats and headbands are a rarity in Houston weather.  

 After a church bbq and naps, we headed to the Adsero's for a swim party.  

These two are James's best friends.  

 John baked his yummy chocolate pie specialty.  Every get together at the Adseros looks like something out of a magazine!  They are great entertainers! 

 Friends.

 I can't say how much I love this family!  Quinn is our hometeacher and is constantly serving us. 

 We finished the night at the Mortensen's.  All the dads put on a fabulous fireworks show.  Rissy loved the pooping dog firework.  The Fourth of July seems to turn our husbands into teenagers.  It is fun to watch.  Several times yesterday I thought about how much I love where we live.  We have made great friends and started some fun traditions.  We are lucky to live in the USA and the great state of Texas!
