Light ‘em Up:)

Happy 4th! Here are some of the pictures from our little “party”:) It’s so hard to pick just a couple of the adorable pictures I got, so you might just get more than you asked for…

My awesome grandparents

Teaching Lydia to light a sparkler, I don’t think she lit another one for the rest of the evening:D

 

Daniel’s failed attempt at lighting a bottle-rocket from his hand.

Oh my word, this girl is craazy photogenic

Snakes!!

    

Parachutes…and more snakes, you just can’t get tired of those:)

And last but not least, the big boys:

So fun!!

Just keep in mind though, this 4th of July, we might find ourselves barbecuing, congregating with loved ones and enjoying our precious free time. But July 4th should be a time to step back, take stock and appreciate freedom. As my eyes are slowly opened to what fellow Christians are suffering in other countries for Christ's sake, I thank the Lord for the freedoms He has given us. May the Lord bless you!
