I love the holidays! I love the excitement, the decorations and all the festivities that go along with it! This year has been so fun for me because, although Carter is still young, everything is just so much more fun and exciting when you have a baby to dress up and share all the fun with!
We started off our day by dressing up in red, white and blue of course..
Yes.. I realize he is not smiling in any of these pictures.. or even looking at me for that matter. He was being a stinker and was determined to not smile or look like he was even slightly interested in taking pictures with me.. I gave in and stopped trying 🙂

Later that day, Carter and I went to the Freedom Festival in Provo with my family.
We didn’t take a lot of pictures.. but we do have a few of everyone when we stopped to eat some lunch..
I LOVE these pictures of my Dad and Carter… My dad loved that even though the ledge would stop.. Carter would just keep walkin’ ..

Finishing off the day was so nice too..
We normally go to Evanston to watch the fireworks with Andy’s family, but this year was just a little too busy for us to make time to get up there, but we still had a great time watching them from our porch..
I love this picture of Carter.. He was so content sitting in his little car watching everyone with the sparklers and the commotion going on around. Plus this totally describes Carter.. He is so chill with his foot up, relaxing and just watching everyone 🙂

Did anyone notice Andy isn’t in any of these pictures? He was studying.. yes, studying the ENTIRE day!! I’ll post more later about our weekend and what put him soo behind on schoolwork! Summer school, work, and Carter keep us both pretty busy, so we missed him through our day.. but sure are proud of how hard he works!
I hope everyone had a great 4th!
