Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays! Why? Because I LOVE the USA!
(Plus, the fact that the kids don’t expect candy or presents when they wake up on the morning of July 4th is a HUGE plus now that I’m a mom)
We woke up early this morning to attend the annual 4th of July breakfast with friends from church. The little kids and I were a hit with the red-white-and-blue hats that I crocheted last night.
Later today, we’ll enjoy some time at the pool…
And then fireworks tonight! It’s the best kind of day. Happy birthday, America!
PS – I put a linky up on 5 Minutes for Mom this morning. So if you’ve got a 4th of July post, too, go link up and share!
PPS – Just for fun, I’m sharing the people pics on I Heart Faces’ Red White and Blue challenge this week.

fun hats;) And I love your firework pic… amazing;) Our fireworks got rained out… really wanted to try some firework pics this year, too;)
So much fun! Love the pool shots! :)
Those hats are so adorable I can’t believe you made them the night before. It would probably take me a year ;) I am too thankful it is one of the holiday’s where children don’t expect presents.
I love the hats, and the fireworks picture is awesome!
Love the hats you made, too cute!
I hadn’t really thought about the fact that there isn’t an expectation of gifts or candy for the kiddos today. It is a nice treat that I didn’t have to run around like a chicken with my head cut off to make things “just so”. We all could just wake up and enjoy the day together as a family.
Thanks for setting up the Linky.
Happy 4th…can so relate, having had 5 children myself….all grown now…they do grow up…now my days are filled with grandchildren….love it…so much easier….have a great weekend…
Happy happy fourth!!
