Anyway, I didn't get a whole lot of pictures of the sitting and eating since we all were hiding in the dark cool house. It was almost 100 outside and people didn't really feel like eating in the sun. Staying inside was great for visiting, playing some games, napping, and playing with dogs, so it all turned out alright.
I made this Jello because I'm trying to be more patriotic and what is more patriotic than ingesting the American flag? If I could have, we would have eaten a bald eagle too. :)

Aaron slaved over the grill to make us our hamburgers.

Yeah...that's a George Foreman he is grilling on. Seriously people, it was too hot to be standing next to burning coals waiting for them to get hot enough to cook on. Plus...I feel like this is more American.
My friend Michelle, who I found through my wonderful sister-in-law, brought her baby with her (which I guess is only natural when the baby is only just two months old). He was an angel most of the day but by the time I took this picture, he was totally ready for a nap.

I know that this next picture looks ridiculously like a family picture, "Look! We made a baby!" but Andy and I are just happy that we got to snatch a baby for awhile. I don't know how Andy and I ended up making the same face.


Aaron was in charge of the fireworks. He was a great "behind the scenes" man at this party. I talk people to death at parties and he makes sure that it all runs smoothly. We are an awesome team.

This fireworks show reminded me of how...perfect...for each other my group of friends is. I'm actually surprised that we didn't hurt anybody. (Important Note: The baby at this point was on the way home...we would not have done these things in front of a child.)




Once we were done with all of the box set fireworks, it was time to set off the aerials that were legal this year. Andy was a little nervous....you know, in case he got shot in the back while running away.


It was an awesome party and it ended on a pretty high note. I hope that next years party is as good as this one.

One thing that I do know, is that it will probably come a lot quicker than I'm expecting. Happy 4th of July everyone!
