Happy Independence Day!

Well, my favorite holiday has come and gone again.  Oh how I love the 4th of July!  The season, the music, the cookouts, the fireworks, the mere patriotism that beams from everyone (including myself) . . . it's just something I look forward to SO much every year! 

We weren't able to celebrate with our families this year, so we spent the weekend with our dear friends instead!  We listened to the sounds of America by the Charlotte Symphony and took in a fabulous display of fireworks under a gorgeous starry sky! 

On Sunday we invited some friends over for a cookout! 

Then we finished the night out at the Drive-In where watched Toy Story 3 and Prince of Persia under the stars :)  It was perfect!
