Fireworks for Our Anniversary?
What an amazing anniversary gift...FIREWORKS...courtesy of Bellevue Baptist Church!
Sunday night, we loaded the car up with blankets, chairs, a stroller, bug spray, snacks, and a soccer ball and headed to the Starlight Spectacular! We found our perfect little spot and got settled in!
John and Grace immediately got to kickin' around the soccer ball.
A few minutes later, Brad, Steph, the boys, Beth, Kenny, Lily, Mimi, and Poppa all showed up. Yes, I said Poppa! (This is the first time he has come to the fireworks in years!) The boys must have been starving because they started eating as soon as possible!
Lily and Grace had to discuss their outfits!
Charlie and Carter did a little hand grabbing holding...so sweet!
Lily (aka: the picture ruiner) lived up to her name once again! Ha!
Mimi and Poppa got all close together for me to take their picture and this is what I got! Why Dad? Why?
After a lot of playing, picture taking, snacks, and loving, it was almost time for the fireworks to begin!
Happy Anniversary, John! Because of you, there will always be fireworks in my life! Mmm! Cheesy goodness!
Andrew LOVED the fireworks! I think my favorite thing about the night was watching him watch the fireworks!
oooohhhh!
aaaahhhh!
Carter watched!
Grace was so excited!
It was a perfect night!
(I just have to try!)

craft Tuesday
I saw this craft a few months ago and saved it for the perfect day which turned out to be today!
Grace used watercolors and
painted her paper.
Let it dry.
Next, we used a butterfly paper punch and punched out as many butterflies as we could! (John jumped in for a picture...he was NOT punching out butterflies!)
We painted a canvas to match her bedroom.
Then, we took all of the butterflies and hot glued them on the canvas. Grace handed me each and EVERY butterfly and told me where she wanted them glued down.
Ta-Da!
Beautiful art and a proud girl!
This was so fun!
Making REAL art for the wall!
