Family Night: Homespun Fourth

I hope you all had a great weekend! I know you were all looking forward to seeing pictures of my Homespun Fourth party - but this bug we had just has been awful! So, we weren't able to host our party this weekend. Bummer.

We did grill out and enjoy a yummy meal together and do sparklers with Emily and Rachel. I look forward to being able to do our Homespun 4th party another year!

I'm so thankful you are feeling better! I know it was disappointing not to be able to host your Homespun Fourth party -- looks like you made the best of it with your sweet family. :) Love you, Mom

oh no! I am so sorry you weren't able to have your homespun 4th! I was definitely looking forward to hearing about it! I hope you are all feeling much better now though! Flu bugs can be sooo hard to get rid of!

Looks like the girls had fun with the sparklers anyway!!! I hope you still enjoyed your 4th! :)

It looks like you had a great time. Sometimes when things don't work the way we want, they turn out even better than we could have imagined.
Blessings,
Trixi

I'm sorry you couldn't have your big celebration; you all look like you had fun anyway.

For all you bloggers who read Monica's post....she really lives what she writes. When I was recently hospitalized with surgery, she made a point of visiting me in her busy schedule, and she doesn't even really know me that well. God bless her!

What a bummer- I know you were really looking forward to that. I hope you guys are on the mend and feeling one hundred percent soon!

We didn't even do sparklers this year. I was in birthday party mode and put the kids to bed early to work on our celebration ;) We basically slept and worked through the fourth :)

i know i should say i'm so sorry you were sick, but all i could think of was: i'm so glad i'm not the only one who was sick over the holidays! (i know, i'm sick!)

hopefully you will have a grand time doing your party later.

I understand about the bug hitting hard. My daughter is sick with something right now. No fun on a holiday, when you like to celebrate.Girls are sure cute with the sparklers.

Have a wonderful week, Monica!
