4th of July Weekend

I may have gone to bed at 8:30 last night! That is just how busy this 4th weekend was for us! We spent the 3rd with The Jenkins Clan (aka @edwardsedition @maconbabies) extended families. I like to claim to be one of them on the 4th and Thanksgiving when we celebrate with them.
We went to Natchez Country Club on the 3rd for cookout and fireworks. I stupidly let my boy skip his afternoon nap, and he paid me back by pitching fits all night! Here he is riding with Letta from @maconbabies in their pimped out 4th Wagon! ( Look at the black knees my boy got from crawling around the club ! Guess that carpet was a little dirty!) No MOMMA I don't want to see the fireworks, I want to cry cry, and go HOME. Then the 4th, also known as Seany-bugs birthday! ( Sean is one of bubs best friends from High school) we celebrated his birthday with his family and sweet nephew Bennett from @AndersonAddition Sean's girlfriend Mary made a homemade ( from scratch) strawberry birthday cake, and OMG was it good. I love strawberry cake and this one had sweetened condensed milk for icing with fresh fruit. YUMMERS. and that was our 4th in a Nutshell. I also did some MAJOR house projects! Pictures to come shortly. We have another showing today so I must get to cleaning! Labels: 4th of July, birthdays, Friends, holiday parties Laura @ My Thoughts-Uninterrupted said...
