Happy Easter to you all!!! 

Thank you for those of you who joined us for the 46 Days of Lent!

Have a wonderful day as we remember and celebrate what Jesus did for us!!

Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace. 

Our 4th of July fun!

Happy 237th birthday America! 

This is what we did to celebrate. :)

We started our celebrations on the 3rd and went to see fireworks!

We brought some homemade bubbles and several kids were having fun with our bubbles!

We got home around 11:30 and plopped everyone into bed.

On the 4th we had more fun with bubbles!

Uncle Sam - Audrey Hepburn style! (By the way, bubbles by the nose isn't comfortable! ;)

After we were outside with the bubbles for a while it started raining. We decided it was perfect for dancing in!

We ate lunch and all the girls took naps while I tackled a chapter of Algebra. 

After naps we watched the Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again and then went out to play when it was dry outside.

We had more fun with bubbles and then enjoyed a delicious dinner inside.

We had hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, and tortilla chips. For desert we had cherry cobbler/pie for the big people and cotton candy push pops for the little people. 

All in all it was a delightful way to celebrate the 4th!!!!!
