Last year on the 4th of July we were with family! This year our family is scattered; Utah, Colorado and Missouri. I miss them. Lots. This was last year - don't we look like a fun crew?!

| How could you NOT have fun with this group? |
This year we were on our own. We gathered with a few friends and did the normal things...eat, talk and blow things up! But it just wasn't the same. I found myself feeling a little melancholy - missing our family - and missing this little bug!
 |
| I mean, seriously - who WOULDN'T miss this? Isn't she just the cutest?! :) | | |

The neighborhood we were in had a LOT of people doing their own fireworks. The air was heavy with smoke and the smell of sulpher. It was stinkin' hot - but we didn't have to worry about mosquitoes!

| Sorry - couldn't get this picture to flip. Yummy rice krispie treats with peanut butter M&M's! |
 |
| Oreos. Dipped in chocolate. White chocolate. White chocolate with blue chocolate disks in it. More white chocolate with red chocolate disks in it for coloring. Oreos and chocolate. Quite fabulous if I do say so myself! |

Besides our family - we were missing our friend Sandi. We had the party at her house. She wasn't there. We didn't totally hijack her home while she was away - her husband was there. We love them. They are our family too - we just aren't related by blood.
Hope you had a fabulous day. And if you couldn't be with family - I hope you were with friends.
