4th of July 2010

July 4, 2010...
We celebrated our 4th by having the missionaries over for dinner and decided to invite Walt's family, my friend Brigette, Olivia, Rusty and kids.. which ended up being 2 more than our own grandchildren because Olivia was watching Bonnie's 2 grandchildren and last but not least Phillip.
We had an indoor picnic with sub sandwiches, Debbie's yummy potato salad, Brigette's cool gelatin dessert and Olivia bringing the traditional Flag cake. After all the eating and just enjoying the company we each took a turn to share our most memorable 4th of July story either from youth to adult and what we felt about the blessing of being an American and the blessings of our Heavenly Father.
It was a very fun, peaceful and spiritual day. Again, my favorite phase.. "where there is love, there is elastic walls" fit the bill of the holiday.
