Our Independence Day in pictures :)

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! We had an awesome time. We had a picnic in the evening with all the american missionaries in Cuiaba! It was a lot of fun....here are some pictures of our evening.

Our hamburgers being grilled!

The food table...yummy!

Table decoration...C.U.T.E!!!

My food!

Sitting around the fire. Yes, I said, fire...it was freezing :)

Fireworks :)

Daddy & Josh doing sparklers...he loved them :) Such FUN!

Many scrumptious desserts...

Table centerpiece made with colored rice and a flag :) Easy and very pretty!

So, that's a little bit of our day! Hope you all had an enjoyable day!!!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ....

It's beginning to look like Christmas at our house! I finally got our decorations out and our Christmas tree put up. Joshua is enjoying looking at our tree. He giggles every time the light come on :) We took him to the mall on Thursday night and he enjoyed all the shiny balls and lights. He wanted to touch everything, of course :) His hand is doing pretty well, it seems to be starting to heal. He still feels a lot of pain and we're giving him medication every few hours, but he amazes me. He's a strong little man! It's so nice to see him smiling again!

Don't you just LOVE Christmas time?!?! It's my favorite time of the year!
Wishing you a blessed weekend!
