All the yummy food.....

The happy hosts of the party

We all sat in the living room since our table only seats 4 people
The crazy self-timer picture (it was almost 1:00am)
All our friends smiling nicely :)

Last year on July 4th I was doing the last of the editing on our wedding programs, and putting together the slideshow for the reception ( I don't even think I saw any fireworks) but this year we got to have some of our friends come over for the evening. We grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and lots of other yummy food that everyone brought to share. We played some games, watched our very own fireworks display in the backyard (prepared and provided by Forrest & Justin) all the neighbors enjoyed too, and finished up the night with a movie while it was storming outside. But before everyone left we had to take a group picture to capture the memories, so we all gathered around the couch and took 24 pictures until we got the perfect one! I have such great friends to be willing to do that (I know they were all annoyed with me :)We had a great time and hope that our friends did too!
