This was the first year that M wasn't terrified of fireworks so we had a rather enjoyable holiday this year! We live in a neighborhood where all we have to do is set up the lawn chairs and watch all the action. We bought a few things but nothing compared to what a lot of our neighbors do. Here's M with her big sparklers.
Then J found a tractor firework so of course we had to buy that. I had no idea they even made such a thing but apparently they really do make just about everything for a boy who loves tractors. He was super excited about it.
They were feeling rather cooperative so I even got them to sit for a picture together! Look at how neither of them is strangling the other! You may never see that again.
The kids had all their lawn chairs out with a front row view. 
And poor J didn't make it through the whole thing. We ended up covering him with a blanket to protect him from falling cardboard and ash. He slept for quite a while out there.
So there you have it. That's our 4th of July. Nothing really exciting but we had a lot of fun!
