the thankful mom

Wednesday night we got a head start on our Independence Day celebrating.

Dinner, a comedian, singing, and fireworks at church.

And...a car show. We took this picture for Papa. He loves Mustangs. :)


It's times like these when I'm really thankful for how good these boys really are. We got to church at around 5:00, and the fireworks didn't start until 9:30. And when you're a kid (or honestly, an adult too) the fireworks are what the 4th is all about.

Those 3 were really patient. Waited and waited.


And it was totally worth it. The church put on a great show, and it felt like the fireworks were exploding right over our heads. Kinda felt the need to duck down....not that it would have done any good. :)

Hunter thought they were a little loud. ;)

Thankful for a protective Daddy who takes care of such things.

Happy 4th of July!

God bless America.
