4th of July

We started some new traditions this year for the 4th of July, one of which was mother-daughter-patriotic-mani-pedis.

Due to work and travel plans, we played it pretty low-key this year.  We stayed home for the evening, and BBQ'ed and ate dinner on the deck.
My hubby can grill up a steak like no one's business.  
Sadly, we are still in need of a good picnic table or patio set, and we all ate crowded around the kids Diego table.
The kids could hardly wait for dark to start the fireworks, so we started with some sparklers at almost dusk. Shooting outdoors in half light, with smoke, and children performing their version of Lord of the Dance with sparklers makes for some less than quality photos, but you get the idea.
