Ethan was very excited to celebrate Independence Day this year. We bought a new flag for the house and a few little ones to decorate our lawn. Olivia has always been fascinated by the fireworks on the Taylor Swift DVD, so we thought that she'd enjoy seeing some up close and personal. We had a small cook-out at home with burgers, hot dogs, potato salad, corn on the cob and pecan pie. It doesn't get any more American than that!

Happy Birthday, America! We are so thankful for the freedom countless men and women have provided for us.
