Red, White, and Bland!

Another Independence Day has come and gone. The excitement and enjoyment of the day are always a beautiful memory making experience.

My fiance and his family have always come together and celebrated by lighting up the night sky. (Well, at least the 'always' that I have known them!) The fireworks are always beautiful, and most of all I love watching My Lovey interact with his brothers and sister. It gives me a tiny glimpse of them as little kids. My heart swells with love for him and his family. (Quirks and all!) I am very blessed/thankful to be a part of this clan with each passing day. There may be ups and downs, frustrations and mishaps, joy and sorrow, but the one thing tying all of us together is the underlying love that is tightly woven through every fiber of our beings. #imsomushy

Anyways! haha... I wanted to share a few snap shots from the evening!

Happy 4th of July from all of us to you! :)

 My festive nails!

 My niece Zoe and I decked out for the event! Flashy glasses are the bestest! 

 The Bland kids! (L to R... Youngest to oldest.)

 And another shot of the siblings. They were posing for a neighbor, who happened to have photos of them when they were all young. So cute! :) 

 My niece Kylie. She wasn't too fond of the fireworks at first. However, she seemed to like them better hanging out in my lap playing with glow sticks. 

 Checking out the sky! 

 Glow stick ears!

 Flashy lights! 

 My Lovey lighting them up! 

 The "kids" and the neighbor. 

My beagle boys on the ride back home. 

While I didn't get a lot of shots of the explosions... I did get The Grand Bland Finale! (Excuse the commentary... There was bit of craziness that ensued! I couldn't believe it!) 

I hope your holiday weekend was just as beautiful as mine! Thanks for stopping by! :)
