July is basically birthday-palooza around here…Lainey and Dylan share a birthday on July 4th, and Marley, Payton, and Ethan share theirs on July 7th.
Let’s start with Lainey and Dylan
Present time…
Lainey had made her wishes known…she wanted a new game system.
Dylan was a puzzle, but knowing how much he loves watching Lainey play her old one, we got him one of his own. Â Thank goodness for finding pre-owned game systems!
As you can see, they were a hit.
The rest of the 4th was spent getting ready to have our friends over for dessert and fireworks.
Before the pyromania began, Lainey and Dylan had some wishing to do…
Sugar cookie cake, decorated by Marley (with the assistance of me to write their names)
And, then it was boom time.
It sounded like a war zone all around us. Â Guess that’s what happens when you live in the country…lots of land, means more room for fireworks.
And, what’s July 4th without sparklers? Â Boring, I say.
Lainey and Dylan think it’s extra cool that their birthday is on an American holiday…
I mean, how many people can have a guaranteed firework display every year on their birthday?
God bless America…and, happy birthday to my Independence day babies.

They, like our other 4 grands, are growing up waaaay way toooo fast!!! They looked so cute opening up their gifts…in their 4th of July shirts…good ‘ole red, white & blue!!
Glad you all had fun with friends that evening…which (ahem) puts icing on the cake…or in this case, COOKIE!! It turned out really pretty…you & Marley did good!!
Happy Birthday, Lainey & Dylan…and MANY more!!
