I am seriously in LOVE with Aliza's bedding. I can't believe it turned out how I wanted it! I have never made baby bedding and didn't have a pattern. I just went with it. I usually do this with outfits too. I think I lucked out!! :)

Fireworks

This past Sunday we took Amelia to a huge Fourth of July celebration at Cross Church. Our neighbors down the street from us invited us out with there group. We don't go to church there and had never been to the firework show so it was nice knowing we had a spot to hang out at until the show started. We had to wait about 3.5 hours before it started. Amelia couldn't have been a better kid! She didn't get upset about waiting at all. 

They had live music and all kinds of food venders and a play area for the kids. 

There were some other kiddos in our group so they kept each other entertained. 

The fireworks started right after they baptized 100 people... Yes 100! Once it turned dark the show went on for about 40 mins! I couldn't believe how long they were. 

Everyone I knew that goes every year talks about how great the show it. It was amazing.. I couldn't believe it. Amelia enjoyed herself to the fullest! She kept saying "this is so cool!, "I'm not scared!", "awesome colors".  Deric and I enjoyed watching Amelia's reaction more than anything I think. We have never taken her to the fireworks. She saw a few of them last year from our deck. So this year she was thrilled to be right there. 

 

Thanks to our sweet neighbors for the invite!! We had so much celebrating our country's freedom!!
