This year we celebrated in style with good food, fireworks & surrounded by family!
Shane's mom Betty, Aunt Jenny, brother James, nephew Jordan, his wife Sam & their 7 week old baby Boston all came over & we all enjoyed the afternoon visiting & catching up with each other. Shane was tending to ribs on the smoker as well as grilling hamburgers & I was in the kitchen preparing all the yummy sides together.
Mason spent most of his time hanging out with Uncle James & baby Boston. He was being so cute with the baby & so gentle. He kept patting his tummy, staring at his sweet little face & just seemed to be in awe of him. It's moments like this that make me extremely sad that Mase will have no idea what it is like to be a big brother :(
Mase kept bugging me to "shoot 'works Mama" so we went outside & started shooting off the little kid fireworks. I spent way too much money on fireworks this year but I didn't care. Since we were in Minneapolis last year for the 4th we never got to shoot off our own fireworks so this year I wanted to make sure he had some fun memories.
We did the usual smoke balls, snakes, snaps, tanks, race cars & parachutes:
But the most favorite of them all - the pooping puppy:
Shane's family left around 8:30ish & we stayed outside to shoot off some of our bigger fireworks. We grabbed the lawn chairs, parked them in the driveway & enjoyed watching our fireworks as well as the big, huge fireworks set off by our neighbors. They must have spent hundreds on their display - it was so awesome & Mason had SO much fun watching!!

Hope you all had a very safe & fun holiday with your friends &/or families!!
