Our 4th of July this year was really fun! We met up with some families from our caregroup to watch the parade in Marlton (which our church totally rocked it out with the ONLY float in the parade, I might add!) and then we had an inpromptu get together at our house. Everyone pitched in and the following pictures are the result!
Jake came home and made a game of "washers"... Dov picked up the actual washers for us!
All the guys out grilling
Mike drinking his "rat poison" (according to him, it can't kill you on vacations and holidays!!)
Connie with her fruit salad!
"The Spread"
My Hottie, the griller!
Matt and Isabelle
The soon-to-be-married (yeah!) Eric playing a game of washers
My hunky hubby playing washers
Mike sharing his "rat poison" with Rayna
Mackenzie thinking she is a big belonger with all the kids
Eating her "big girl" rice cake!
The best part of being a kid... blue tongues!
Mackenzie loved playing with Lydia... here they are competing to see who can get through the door first!
Lydia won! She was so sweet with Mackenzie and Mackenzie was nice to her too... she liked having another person her size here!
Lydia trying to get back out and Mackenzie still trying to get through! I just thought this was so cute I had to post it!
So, all in all, it was a great day! It was so nice of everyone being willing to drive over here and bring food. The guys had a lot of fun playing washers, the moms had fun talking and cooking together, and the kids were all so well-behaved! I told Jake it was like a "dream day" to me... to have so many people over spur the moment and to have them stay for so long... we ended up having to give the kids dinner! These days are the best =)

I learned two things reading your blog today, Jul-- that Matt/Jess go to your CG and that Eric, the SGC most eligible bach, is getting married?!?! That's fab!
