We had a fabulous 4th of July with friends and neighbors. The Bick's even stayed the night. I absolutely love having them over. Our neighborhood did a fireworks show that could compete with Stadium of Fire. I'm serious. Ben has the pictures, I'll have to get those. We kept thinking it was over, and then it got bigger. There is some serious American pride here.
Our ward put on a breakfast and wonderful program. I'm so grateful for the reminders of the sacrifice given and miracle it was that America was born. I felt a greater faith after listening.
Since the 4th, we have been getting sick and dealing with it. Ben got really bad allergies/cold and Troy got a bad fever. I lost my voice and have no energy. Liam occasionally coughs and Katelyn has somehow stayed healthy. I hope she makes it!
We still had a great performance of Book of Mormon stories in FHE.
I was going to make apple pie for the 4th and then time got away. I made it Monday, before I felt yucky, and it was SO good. Got the recipe from Melissa Kitchen, because we loved hers at Thanksgiving!
I was stepping all over Cheerios by the time I was done.
Totally worth it ;)
I'm sorry you guys have all been sick! That apple pie looks totally amazing, and I really love the cheerios all over the floor :). Totally my life, too.
