Ain't No Such Thing as Too Much Red, White, and Blue!

We had a great time last night at Chase's celebrating an early July 4th at his new house.  Delicious food, good friends, and fantastic outfits!  

Then we came home and had some sparkler fun with the girls.  I saved some from New Year's for this very occasion. It wasn't dark yet, but I didn't want to keep them up past ten so we just used two and called it good.  They definitely enjoyed themselves!

After the somewhat depressing experience of last year's July 4th all alone in a foreign country, I decided to join Randy and Shawna tonight on base for the carnival.  Jesse will be working the funnel cake tent (he's in charge of that this year so you can just call me The Funnel Cake Widow hehe)  I'm really looking forward to a crazy-fun-busy-crowded-night celebrating our country's special day with a crap ton of other Americans.  You shouldn't be alone on Independence Day!!!  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!  I hope you guys all have a great July 4th!  And wish me luck trying to keep the Monkeys happy until fireworks at 11pm!  (I predict a good bit of sugar in our future...)

Also if any family wants a trip down memory lane... here are the girls two years ago!
