4th of July Weekend

What a fun weekend! I loved how the 4th fell on a Monday, but some of the places did their fireworks on Saturday. It just made the weekend last longer! 
On Saturday evening we headed over to Provo to watch the Stadium of Fire fireworks on my aunt's lawn. It is the best view of the fireworks and is always nice to catch up with the extended Hawkins family.
 Waiting for the fireworks to start.

Vela LOVES fireworks...and glowsticks!

 Check out Vela's bracelets! 

Tonight we had most of Hema's family over for a BBQ and then watched the fireworks at Thanksgiving Point from out front lawn. However I got busy and didn't get many pictures taken once everyone got here! 
 My girls all ready to party! 
 Yummy flag cheesecake I made.
Grandpa and Grandma Hawkins with my girls. 
Our family.  
Hanging out waiting for the fireworks. 
 Vela and Cora LOVED baby Pita. They kept trying to hold, hug and kiss him! Everyone thought Cora would be jealous when I held him, but she was so excited and kept kissing him. It was so cute.
We had a great weekend and are ever so grateful for the freedoms we have in this blessed land. We are grateful to all who sacrifice to keep us free! May God continue to bless America!!!
