Our 4th Festivities

How cute does Ava look in her patriotic outfit?!

She's still LOVIN' those flip-flop's, Ninner!

I usually don't bring anything to family get-togethers, since everything is usually taken care of, but I decided to contribute some dessert to our 4th Celebration! This was SOOO YUM-O, pound cake, strawberries in Jell-O, and Cheesecake, topped with the blueberry & strawberry flag, of course! It was delish!

What 4th of July celebration would be complete without a game of ball?! Matt got in on the action, too, even though I didn't get him in this shot :)

The Mathis Kids : Emily, Ava & Matt

Ava is CRAZY about her cousins! She has the best time when she's with them & thinks she's just as old as they are! Needless to say, they're pretty fond of her, too :)

We did some Snakes (one of my personal faves - even though they're not that exciting) out on the road - we watched for cars, don't worry :)!

Here's Ava with her 1st Sparkler!!

(I know you're so proud, Gig!)

Here is her expression when the first Firework went off - it was pure excitement! She loved watching the Fireworks & watching Milo (Mimi's dog) chase after them, too!
