4th of July festivities

We blessed Griffin on Sunday, the 4th of July and I am so glad we did. Not only is my favorite holiday and it made it so special and fun, but I think if I would've waited another month his outfit wouldn't have fit him. He was so stinkin' cute, chubby, and good.  And of course I forgot as always to take pictures and we all dressed in red, white, and blue we were so cute.  Trent wanted to change his clothes because he was hot and Hudson spilled ketchup all over his, so I may have to reenact and dress us all up again for some family pictures.We had a hot dog bar. I thought it was festive seeing as it was the 4th. Everyone loved it.
I did get one of Hudson later that day with Finn. My boys are so cute. And isn't Finn getting so chubby?
It was so cute. On Sunday, Ruby and her little girly friend Addison dressed in the same dress, so of course we had to take a picture of them. So dang cute!
Then Sunday night, my family came back and we did fireworks in the front yard. The kids had so much fun snuggling with Grammy because it was a bit chilly. Made for a perfect 4th of July. 
 
And Uncle Erik and Uncle Brody wrapped all the kids up to swing them and of course the kids loved it. Anyday now Uncle Erik is gonna be a daddy, we can't wait for baby Violet to get here. 
Monday morning, my whole family got up early and went to the Oaks for breakfast. Its always so fun to eat a yummy breakfast by the river in the mountains. It was super cold but so yummy and fun. 
Here's my little or should I say big baby at the Oaks. We had to bundle him all up because of the canyon winds so you can't see his cute 4th of july outfit. He is the best baby ever. I have to brag a bit because he is such a good sleeper. All my kids have been. I was a bit nervous to have Griffin because how many good babies can you have? Well, I guess 3 so far. He goes to bed at 9:00 and sleep until 5:30 or 6 every night. He sure does spoil me. I can even put him down awake, turn on his music, give him his binky and blankie and he'll go to sleep himself. He is a snuggle bug though and I do love it. And he's getting so big.  He started out the smallest of my babies but I think he's gonna be the biggest. Couldn't you just squish those cheeks?

I'm glad you guys had a fun 4th! That's awesome you could bless Finn that day. He is getting so big! His cheeks are adorable. :) And you are so lucky that he is sleeping so good, that probably makes things a lot easier.
