We had a great Fourth of July with lots of family in town for Violet's baby blessing. Brad and Dawn came on Thursday and my parents and Shad and Jen (and puppies!) came on Friday afternoon. Brad, Dawn, and Kevin golfed in the morning, Cora swam in the backyard in the afternoon, and we all had some nice relaxing time to hang out together. 
My aunt and uncle, and my cousin Katrina's family came over for hamburgers and fireworks, so it was a really fun time! We also did Cora's birthday cake after hamburgers, and she opened a few presents.
Violet dressed up for the holiday too!
My first attempt at making an icecream cake! It was too windy to keep the candles lit, oh well, maybe next year.
Cora liked the fireworks for the most part, except the loud whistling petes! She was pretty apprehensive about the sparklers, but loved the pop-its. When she sees the pictures of fireworks now, she says pop-pop! We still have a few pop-its left I'm saving for sometime this week when she needs a fun activity.
