Our 4th of July ...

... was pretty simple this year. We made and decorated sugar cookies, popped some fireworks in the backyard, and sang songs by the campfire until Lucy said "I'm done. I want to go to bed now." You don't ignore things like that :)

The fireworks were "so cute"

A particularly stubborn popper (I love the looks on their faces)

Watching confetti fly ...

Mr. Nick helped Miss Lu write out "Happy 4th of July" on the cookies ... the became the "special" cookies, so of course Miss Lu wanted to eat all of them :)
