4th of July Weekend (Part 2)

On Monday Jacob got up super early (4 am!) to start smoking meat for his family's get together. Lily woke up around 5:30 and Jacob brought her and put her in bed with me. Thankfully she went back to sleep with me until around 7:30! It was so nice to sleep in a little after such a busy, busy, weekend!

Lily and I went out to Memaw's for lunch with all the family. We just ate leftovers from Saturday and sat around and talked. Memaw has some of the prettiest tiger lilies blooming around her house. Ever since I was a little girl I've thought they are the coolest looking flower!

It was Lily's naptime, so Mandy's husband rocked her {both of them} to sleep. I love this picture! It was just too precious a moment to pass up.

We headed to Jacob's family's house for an early supper. PawPaw enjoyed playing pool with some of the other family members.

Later in the evening we went to my parent's for desserts and fireworks with our church family. My family lives in the country so it's nice to go out there and do fireworks since they are illegal in the city limits. I made these Rice Crispy "Popsicles" dipped in chocolate. They were yummy!

Lily loves sucking/chewing on any kind of fruit or veggie but we have to be careful she doesn't get a bite since her first tooth has cut through! This picture was taken right before Joseph noticed that there was a nickel sized piece of cantaloupe missing from the chunk!! Thankfully I was able to get it out of her mouth before she choked!

One guy brought his remote helicopter to fly for us. He is like a professional- it was amazing to watch him control it and do all kinds of tricks!

To finish off the evening we watched tons of beautiful fireworks!

Lily was a little afraid of all the noise, but if we covered her ears, she was ok. It was also past her bedtime, so she was kind of fussy anyway.

So that ends our fun, crazy, busy, tiring 4th of July weekend!
