Don't even think about it

We used to be somebody

Our own display

Getting the pyrotechnics ready

Wow!

Girlie's first sparkler ... Don't she look like an angel?

Is my hand going to catch on fire?

Emerson's first also

A little sparkler note: 

When I was a kid sparklers were made of metal and now they're made of wood 

(the part you hold).

They also lasted for hours, okay not hours but they lasted more then 5 seconds.

It's funny how our lives are lasting longer and everything we buy has a shorter life.

Emerson being a pyrotechnician.

Okay that's it, clean up, go inside, put your pajamas on and brush your teeth.

Time for peace and quiet!

The smile originator

Lunch Time!

We're ready

After not having cannoli for over a year we heard Anthonee's Kitchen in Lakeview

had them so we picked up 8 fresh cannoli for dessert. 

Emerson was in Sicilian heaven.

The kids bundle up as the temperature drops

Josiah braves the cold

Good night sun

Pig tails and a cowboy hat ... who could ask for more?
