This 4th of July was pretty low key for us. We were excited to be able to celebrate it with family up in Wisconsin and also celebrate a few birthdays. Josh's sister and family we're coming in so it made the day even more special.
We started the day with some swimming at the house Josh's parents were staying at. Mara slept through most of it but was able to enjoy some swinging and pool time when she got up. After swimming we headed back to Caleb and Carrie's for dinner.
Right before dinner we decided to do a family picture. This was probably one of the best moments for us as we took the opportunity to tell the family we would soon be adding another little one to the mix! From there it was dinner and dessert, including birthday treats for Ani, Caleb and myself.
You can't have the fourth without fireworks so we headed to the local expo center to enjoy the display. Mara was a trooper staying up till about halfway through. We were also super impressed that she wasn't scared. She was in awe of the colors and shapes so much so we are still hearing about them today!
Overall it was a great fourth of July! Not only did we get to spend it with extended family but it was our first fourth as a family of three! (Next year we will be four!!)
