4th of July...

It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.

I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July! 

We all did here at my house--we actually threw together our first ever 4th of July party here at our new house. In fact make that the first party by us ever (as far as having the entire church at our house). We ended up having right around 50 people here at our house, and it was SO much fun! I don't think that I can really tell you how much fun we all had. *smile* 

So I guess you all will have to settle for my photos. 

Which sadly, I didn't start taking any until after dark...but that just goes to show you that even this gal (who NEVER forgets to take photos, by the way) had too much fun. ☺

I guess, according to everyone, that arm wrestling is now an every year tradition... :)

Getting ready to shoot off our own big fireworks! (and passing out 'pop its' for the little kids to enjoy)

Our awesome fireworks!

After our fireworks some of us went inside and played games.

And then it was over. And everyone (including ourselves) agree that this is now going to be a yearly advent. :) And people are already talking and planning BIGGER and BETTER things for next year! Which I don't think is even possible. Because this year was just completely amazing. End of story. :)
