We had all the Dale and Margaret Smith family together for the Fourth of July this year besides Dale and Margaret whom we all missed. It is like a mini reunion and so much fun to have all the family together. Paige loved playing with all her cousins and we all love this holiday celebrating our freedoms.
Annual star hair
It was this little one's first Fourth of July and she did so good. She didn't mind the fireworks and loved being passed around from aunts and uncles and cousins.
Nate and Paige went with Mike and his family in the morning to go and get fireworks. Then a little after lunch is when everyone showed up for the fun.
Aaron did a lot of fun yard games and everyone got involved. It kept everyone entertained until dinner.
These two cuties sat on the sidelines just observing and just being too cute.
We skyped Nona and Pops right before dinner so they were part of the prayer and got to see everyone before we had a delicious barbecue.
Traditional pictures on the porch
Then we went over to Anna and Scott's house for the fireworks. I love just watching all the kids and men have fun lighting the fireworks.
Smoke bombs- one of Paige's favorites.
The picture on the left is the first firework she lit and wanted lots of help and by the end of the night she was the picture on the right and lit them by herself as long as Nate was close by. She is getting more brave every year though is doesn't like to be surprise by the loud ones.
Snake pit.
This was her throughout most of the night- ears covered.
The kids really liked the pop its- here is Oneil and Myla running over one with the bike.
Brett with his dirty, firework covered face.
Baylor got passed around throughout the entire day and was content to be on different people's laps while watching the fireworks.
Ending our fireworks with some sparklers before we went back to our house and walked over to the lake for the big firework show. It was such a nice day and I enjoyed all the family time.
Until next year.
