Happy Fourth!

As my favorite holiday approached, family members started calling asking to join us.  So since I love family so much and can’t resist seeing those I love, we invited all of them to come and stay at the same time at our house.  Normally, we visit the out of town families at their houses, or one at a time.  This time, with all of them here, it was a different dynamic trying to spend quality time with each family that came.  It was still a wonderful way to celebrate one of my favorite holidays with all of my favorite people.

This picture made them look a lot better than they were...I tried not to complain, but it was hard.  They just didn't have their timing down at all!
