OUR BEST ATTEMPT AT A 4TH JULY PIC.

We have been away to celebrate my MILs wedding. It was a wonderful backyard service with family and friends. We also had short horn cattle watching..more on that later. We celebrated the 4th with food and fireworks. It was all enjoyed by everyone. It was fun meeting new members of our extended family and getting to share stories about the new couple. During the ceremony Claire kept saying..."COW?? Eating?" So I kept shoving food in her mouth to try and keep her quiet. Who knew that having cows at your wedding would be so disruptive. We then had a reception down at the barn with dancing and fajitas. Delicious. It didn't hurt that the beer was flowing freely as well. The girls had a great time with aunts uncles and cousins all spoiling them for four days.

Cousins enjoying the music.

We also took a moment to celebrate Claire's first 4th as an American citizen. We thanked God for allowing her to come here and enjoy the freedom that American has to offer. I hope to have our boy home for a 4th celebration in a short time. Hopefully next yr but I don't want to set my hopes on that.

Hope everyone had a great 4th.
