4th of July/Family Birthday Celebrations

We had a Big 4th of July/3 Family members Bday Celebrations at GG & Papa Nick’s House on the Fourth this year. It was a lot of fun, always a blast when we have the whole (for the most part) family together. Our Aunt Teri & Cousin Olivia were in town visiting for a couple weeks from South Carolina so it was SO wonderful having them both here too! So we figured instead of having 3 different Bday Celebrations in the month of July that we’d just combine all the Bday’s together and have one BIG celebration. Aunt Rose’s Bday is July 4th, Autumn’s is July 22nd and Cousin Olivia’s is the beginning of August. It was a blast, great food, great company, lot’s of presents, and SO much yummy desserts! Perfect day spent celebrating our Beautiful Country & some special Birthday’s. There are lots and lots of pictures so enjoy!

My loves all ready to get there party on…

Yes, even Owen got some presents…the “I’m sorry it’s not your Birthday” kind I guess?! One was an actual belated Birthday gift for him, a new harder level Perplexus Ball, as you can see above, he was VERY excited about it!

After presents, it was dessert time! Each Birthday girl got their own dessert, Olivia had a heath cake, Aunt Rose had a Mocha Ice Cream Cake, and Autumn got Funfetti Mini Cupcakes in the shape of the flag.

Autumn loved the way her flag mini cupcakes came out. Her favorite part was the colored sugar crystals on top :)

After dessert we were all getting pretty tired, so we watched the fireworks on TV so we didn’t have to wait up for the real ones. Hahaha. We saw them the night before at the Rockies Game so it was no biggy and we ended up seeing a ton on the drive home. It was such a fun filled busy day!

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful, safe, fun filled Independence Day!!!!

*As usual, I’m pretty behind on blogging, so I will do my best to play catch up once we get back from our first ever family vacation (as in just the 4 of us) that starts in 2 hours!!!!! So excited to get out of town with my wonderful family for a few days :) Have a great weekend y’all!!!!
