4th of July Celebration!

And celebrate we did! It was such a fun day starting off with a barbeque at Rob and Jesse's new house. The Curtis family was all there minus Richard and Jon (who had to be with their friends that night) and my cousin Shanel was there with her family. That meant there were plenty of kids running around, playing on the swing set, watching the campfire, and being increasingly anxious for fireworks. Jesse went all out with flags, bead necklaces, balloons and decor all with a red, white and blue theme. We ate lots and had a great time catching up with each other!

Roman loves his cousins and wants to be just like "Spesper, Ewi, and Keweb." He thought he was the coolest kid on the block when Eli lent him his hat to match Spencers:
Fun on the slide...Karoline's new favorite thing to do...Capri, Ms. Independence:
Look at that face-sheer excitement and joy!Cheri and London, the happiest baby girl on the planet:
Jesse and Spencer:My parents as cute as always. I just have to laugh at my dad's shirt-he has started a Greek museum in Magna and was there earlier for their parade. He was not about to change...
Me and my baby girl who loved her beads:Rob and Jesse live so close to Sugarhouse Park that we were able to walk on over. It was the greatest! We left early so we could snatch a good spot and light some of our own fireworks...

We were worried about our spot because no one was around us. We were thinking that they would start going off right behind the trees in front of us and we would be totally out of luck. Thank goodness we were right where we were supposed to be and had an awesome view! Capri wasn't a huge fan, but was quite brave. Karoline actually liked them and her and I cuddled up the whole time. Roman thought they were about the coolest thing ever and he couldn't have been happier watching them with his dad and cousins. Such a great night!
