Happy 4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July this year with SO much to celebrate! Since last September when Allen was diagnosed, we have looked forward to shooting fireworks off and celebrating BIG!
Honey and Sashi flew in for the festivities!
A rare family photo!
Braxtyn wasn't too thrilled, but they sure looked adorable!
Check out the loot Daddy, Sashi, and Uncle Jamie got for the big bash!!
It is all lined up in order.

The boys started early! And, of course the little kids couldn't wait!
We had a great crew to celebrate with! 
Smoke Bomb!
Smoke Bomb!
But, of course it isn't a party until the cops are called! So, we had a nice visit with the officer thanks to our grouchy neighbor who wasn't such a fan of our fireworks. TOO BAD GROUCHY LADY! And, the party continued!

Can you tell Braxtyn was right in the action?! Poor guy was pooped!
Happy 4th! We can't wait until next year, which Allen has promised the kids will be even bigger and better (if that is possible)!
