Happy Independence Day

Happy 4th of July!  To celebrate the 4th of July, our church had its annual 4th of July celebration.  After morning service, Shawn and I came home and ate lunch and I made a Diet Sunkist Orange cake and my taco salad with a healthy spin to it.  Both were yummy!  We left the house around 5 and went back to church for a cookout, fellowship and fireworks.  There was alot of people from church there as well as a few guests.  There was LOTS of yummy food and I blew my WW points away.  I think it was the homemade vanilla ice cream that sent me over the edge.  After eating we visited with people and I took some pictures and then as it started getting darker, it was time to start the fireworks.  The last few years, we have always had a really good fireworks display and this year was no different.  I tried to take some pictures of the fireworks as they are going off, but it's always hard to get a good picture of them.  And then after the fireworks, a bunch of us were taking silly pictures which was lots of fun!  Angie and Garvin did a great job of getting everything set up and all the food cooked and set out, and then Mike and Phil did a great job of lighting the fireworks and putting on a good display, all the while keeping all of their limbs intact.  Thank you Jesus!
