Happy Fourth of July!

I celebrated the Fourth of July this year at my friend Katie's parents house in Wildwood. Alecia and I drove out there Saturday to visit and watch the fireworks over the lake at night. I was excited to get to see Katie and Alecia because we don't get to see each other that often. We get together once a month and have a girls night, but it always seems so long in between. I was also excited to see Katie's baby Ryan....he is changing and growing so fast.

Me, Alecia, Ryan, and Katie

Isn't this dessert so pretty...I got a pic after everyone dug in but you can still see the stars and stripes. It was so good..one of Katie's friends made it with blackberries from her backyard!

We enjoyed sitting on the back porch talking and playing with Ryan..he is so adorable and so much fun : )

I love this picture of Ryan and his daddy wearing matching camo hats

Everybody getting ready for the fireworks

I am so thankful that by God's grace I was born in a country where I am free....free to believe what I want and worship God. I know how blessed I am to live in America and that freedom doesn't come free. I pray for the troops today and remember everyone who fought for our freedom! If your like me get your Kleenex before you watch the video. The song, "God Bless America" makes me cry every time I hear it.

Happy Fourth of July!!
