This year, we decided to stay home for the 4th of July and do our own thing. We invited over some of our favorite people....the attendees (In random order, of course):
Bradley, the master of Pyro ceremonies. In Arkansas it is tradition to let the underage be in charge of all explosives.
Brad, my brutha from anutha mutha. He enjoyed taking a puff of the punk.
Dana, his lovely wife....posing with "Little G" (Garrett), who makes his debut any day now!
Greg and Krista - some of the sweetest you'll ever meet.
Todd and Courtney, lighting a unity Roman Candle....
Tommy T - The one who orchestrated the fireworks display.
Bryce, the life of the party!
Bob and Judy, Dana's parents.....So sad I didn't get a picture of Judy. She is stunning. Bryce always flirted with her when Bob wasn't looking.
Karah, the debutant party princess.
Following is a large assortment of children. Let's play a little game and see if you can match the child to the correct parents. Some are dead giveaways :) You may be wondering why there is no picture of Brady, Brad and Dana's little boy. He was not available for a photo shoot due to his intense fear of fireworks. Brady spent a peaceful night in our basement watching a Barbie movie...much to Brad's dismay.
We enjoyed S'mores as we debated whether marshmallows are best toasty brown or encased in carcinogens. 
When we invited Bob and Judy to attend our 4th of July fireworks- they later told us that they had expected a few sparklers. They were shocked to see that it really was "a show". It rocked! Go Tom! I think we will stay home every year!
Happy 4th! Looks like it was a grand time at your place. Sparklers are so much fun. I love the photo of Bradley...and the description that in Arkansas it's tradition to let the under-aged be in charge of all explosives! That's hilarious!
