Happy 3rd of July!

The 2nd may have been her actual birthday, but she was equally excited about the 3rd...the 4th annual Perkins Fireworks Extravaganza!
Morning snuggles :)

My sweet trio





We had family and friends over for BBQ, mac n cheese, chips and dip, fruit...yum! Finally, it was present time!

The safe from Justice that she wanted so badly


Shopping money for Justice!!

This was so special, Pop and Gigi gave Kallen a replica violin of Nana's. So precious, she is so proud of it!

"I recognize that box!"


Josefina from Bud and Kk!

And a horse, of course...

Lastly, a triple bunk bed for the dolls (and maybe Graham)


Wow, I sure love these kids and am so thankful for the awesome family and friends that we consider family in our lives. We are so blessed.

Graham showed off his big boy bed, and Uncle Adam taught him some new tricks


Happy Birthday to you!

Graham wanted to blow out a candle :)

Kallen and Lacy!

Corn hole, sno cones, banana pudding, and cookie cake. Yep, it's a good day!

Hannah and Emma

Sweet Lexi

It was starting to get dark, and that can only mean one thing---it's time to light up!
I always try to find something fun for the kids. This year, glow stick glasses and blinking rings :)



And sparklers, of course!


Alice was such a big girl! She wasn't scared at all of the fireworks or sparklers!


Oh yeah...








Graham didn't love the fireworks, he clung to me and didn't want to watch them. After a while, he finally gave it up and decided there was too much fun going on! He didn't want to miss out!








What a great night. We had so much fun, and loved being with everyone! This is always one of our favorite nights. 

I asked Kallen what her favorite part of the party was the next day. Her reply: "when I got to light the last firework, One Bad Mudder". Ha!
