Nothing Says Happy 4th of July More Than...

Enchiladas??? Yep, that is how our family celebrated the fourth, with a delicious dinner of enchiladas!!! See, we were supposed to go back up to our park for an Old Time 4th of July picnic complete with games, food and fireworks, but all the rain put an end to that! My mom checked out her cupboards and I checked out mine, and this is what we came up with, as we were worried that most grocery stores were closed for the holiday! Here is Nana, cutting up our great dinner!
Before dinner we played a game like the "Newlywed Game." I must admit that Dan and I did pretty well and won a few times! Love you, Stud! :)

Because the weather was yucky, we basically just hung out! Here are Steve and Henry on his first 4th of July!
The kids got outside to play just a bit, then came in and got their matching shirts on for a little photo session of all the c0usins! Here is Luke, Jack, holding Henry, Nick and Alyssa! Aren't they cute?
After all the pictures were done (and there were many, but expected with 5 little ones!) Nana made some funnel cakes that were enjoyed by all!
Then it was time for Papa to read a few stories to Luke and Alyssa before it was time for everyone to go home and go to bed!!!
All in all a very quiet, but nice, 4th of July!
