This year we decided to see the fireworks right in back of our own yard- literally. It was a shopping center were many people gather year after year and being only 1 minute away and having sleepy babies that normally crash by 7:30pm- it just made sense. I left the mantel pretty much the same after Elijah's birthday party since it went with the 4th of July theme. As you can see the youngest member of the house was already super sleepy so pictures were a no go lol :)
