Independence Day

We didn't do much for the 4th of July this year. For starters, why go to the parade or see the hot air balloons when we have years and years of Utah living ahead of us to enjoy those activities? So we took it easy while the kiddos are still young. 

The most important part of this holiday for us was...coordinating outfits!! 

Then we needed to take a family picture of us looking so cute. Countless photos later, THIS was our best. The kids were not being very cooperative. 

But of course Kinsey had to sneak a cute little face in there. I just love that girl!

 After wasting away the morning, we decided it was time to get out of the house and go to the outlet mall. But first, we were hungry. Too bad the mall only had two places to eat at and the food took FOREVER, so we didn't squeeze much shopping in. 

 I pinned a TON of cute treats for the 4th on Pinterest, but didn't get around to making any of them. Eric, however, perfected his July 4th drink. So cute!

And his mom made a festive cake. 

 

Kinsey, of course, loves anything with the word "cake" in it. 

 Once the sun went down, it was finally time for FIREWORKS!!

Scarlett wasn't impressed. 

 Kinsey loved watching the fireworks (after warming up to them for a second)!! And probably just staying up WAY past her bedtime.

Pointing out a firework. 

 It was another successful holiday with our three angels. I look forward to when they are a little older and can ALL enjoy the fireworks, parades, and Stadium of Fire!
