The start of July is always a fun time for us since not only do we get to celebrate Independence Day but also my birthday! As we noted in our last blog, we had moved the first day of July. We had already planned on inviting family and friends over for a barbeque on July 4th so that was motivation enough to unpack everything quickly. We made it and my birthday was a great success!
To start off the day, I woke up early while Ashley slept in so that I could continue my tradition of watching 1776. Ashley doesn't like it too much so we didn't watch it at all last year. However, while Ashley slept, I was joined by my friend Steven, who watched it with me for the first time while we played Axis and Allies. Steven and I spent my birthday last year playing Axis and Allies as well and it is beginning to be somewhat of a tradition for us.
Later on, Steven and Kayla played some games with us for a while before we had our barbeque. We had quite a few friends and family join us and afterward, we watched the Stadium of Fire fireworks. It was a lot of fun and we closed the night doing sparklers with Steven and Kayla. Unfortunately, we forgot to take any pictures on my birthday, but we did take pictures the next day when we did some more sparklers.
And here is a picture of the smore cake that Ashley made. It was quite yummy!
