July 4th ~ Blessing Abigail

Since July 4th happened to be on fast Sunday this year, we were able to both bless Abigail and celebrate our independence with family.  

We decided to bless Abigail in Shelton so Brian's family could be there (they all missed out on Crystal's blessing.) and it was our last family ward.  My dad was unable to get work off, so they were unable to make it, but we are grateful for the BEAUTIFUL blessing outfit they sent.  Thank you!

 Here's Abigail up close in the little dress - I have better ones, but will have to post them later.

 Crystal was so excited for Abigail - it truly is a special thing, watching Crystal and Abigail together.  Crystal has such a strong love for her Abby.

 After church, everyone came over for the BBQ.  Dad cooked up some great burger and hot dogs and everyone made great dishes! Thanks!

 Seeing that it didnt get dark until almost 10:00pm, the guys went over to Grammy's yard and played football all afternoon - they seemed to have a lot of fun!

 So, this is the time of year when I realize just how cheap I am. ;) Brian's dad, Kevin, and Chris all spent a few hundred dollars (each) on fireworks...which made of an AMAZING firework show that night. These are pics of Kevin with some of his - he had to screw them in so they wouldnt fall during the show.
