Happy Birthday, America!!!

I trust that each of you had a wonderful time celebrating Independence Day!  We sure did.  It was so nice just hanging out with friends.  The only bad thing was the amount of food that I consumed.  After what I ate last night, I probably should never need to eat again.  Yeah, it was that bad.  Everything was so yummy and I just couldn't resist.  I've decided that today begins a hard core crackdown on my working out and eating.

Here are a few pictures from our 4th of July Extravaganza...

 Jackie had her house decorated so cute for the 4th!  I couldn't get over these adorable place settings for the kiddos! 

 Blythe loved them, too!

 Just further proof that Kiki will eat anything. 

 Watermelon Limeades!

 The best cookies in the world...I'm not exaggerating here, people! 

 I got a lot of flack for bringing Mexican Corn to the 4th of July celebration, until they tried it and then everything was fine.  

 Sparklers! 

 Kiki and her good friend, Maria 

 We're friends, too:) 

 The Girls 

 We were all amazed that Rosie was enjoying the fireworks.  Usually she's scared of everything.  Everything from picnics to parades are frightening to this little one.  The one thing she really should be afraid of didn't bother her a bit...at first.  Then the sparkler malfunctioned and we were back to good ole' terrified Rosie!  

 I love this picture! 

 Patriotic Girls!  

 The Murrill's 

 The Guyton's 

 The Nudd's 

The Nudd's + one:)  This picture cracks me up.  Morgan inched her way over into the picture and just looks like one of the gang. 

 Alan and his littlest girl 

 The Crew

Two tired girls 

Sadly, I didn't get any pictures of the firework show that the boys put on for us that included some provocative dancing by my very talented husband or our rousing game of ladder golf.  You'll just have to take my word that we had a great rest of the evening.  Both the girls were happily pooped by the time we got home...actually we all were.  We slept very well last night.
