the 4th!

It really is the best holiday. I look forward to this day every year, but I must admit that this year was the COLDEST 4th to date - at least where we were.

The sun did not even show it's face for one minute yesterday.

So the typical warm, sunny, beachy holiday was still spent at the beach with family & friends, but we were in our sweatshirts the whole time.

But I can't complain, we still had a good time and I still was able to be with my man with no work distractions for the WHOLE day.
It was nice:)

The first year we were married we were on our honeymoon during the 4th, last year we did it with my family, so this year it was the Kimball's turn to have us for the holiday. So we drove down to Laguna and enjoyed it with them! It was weird not being with my family and I missed them a lot, but I'm grateful that I have another fun family to be a part of too.

It's a win, win.

 Played some volleyball at Emerald Bay.

 I was asked to bring some desserts for dinner & came up with these easy things thanks to pintrest.

(I'm talking 25 minutes or less easy. & they were gone in less than 10 minutes. I am mental noting these for next year..or pinning them..either way I'm saving this ;)

 Of course we color coordinated our pants. Why not?

 Waiting for fireworks! I know Jason looks funny in this, but he has a problem of keeping his eyes open in pictures especially when there is a flash involved, so this was the best we could do.

 You can't see it, but our legs are covered in goosebumps.

Hoping next year, the sun will grace us with it's presence..

as well as the rest of this summer. 

Happy 4th!!

oh & ps. I woke up this morning with my voice completely gone.
That means we partied too hard..or I have a viral infection.
I wish I could say it was the first one...but I can say the partying didn't help my throat at all either. ;)
