Independence Day

We had a fun Independence Day. We had the whole crew at our house since we were going to have family from both sides attend. My parents came from California and Jeff's from Canada for Brooke's baby blessing. We also had my siblings and some of their in-laws attend. Jeff put up a canopy in the backyard and several tables and we had an all-American BBQ. Jeff smoked Trip Tip and bbq'd chicken (thanks to my parents for purchasing it.) Then all of the siblings brought the side dishes. Potato salad, watermelon, corn on the cob, chips, cake and homemade ice-cream. It was a yummy dinner!

I love how Aubrey & Grandma Bagley matched.

Aubrey found her Patriotic bear - so I had to snap a picture.

When JJ came over - the two of them were playing house so cute together.

The Aunts with the cousins.

Brooke loves people to talk to her. She'll smile and even giggle sometimes.

Aubrey enjoying her corn on the cob.

This is my Sis-in-law, Katie's, sister's baby. She was so darling and looked so cute gnawing on the cob.

Uncle Steve and Uncle Bryan gave many shoulder rides that evening.

Steve & Summer brought Bocce ball to play. My mother-in-law was the champion by a mile.

Aubrey found some sand and was having a ball playing in it.

Aubrey was not a fan of the sparklers.

Grandpa Bagley does a great impression of Donald Duck and Aubrey was eating it up!

Grandma and her girls!

We had a few little fireworks.

Aubrey did not enjoy the fireworks, so went inside and cuddled with Uncle Elliot instead.

Watching the big fireworks. Aubrey enjoyed those much more!
