4th of July and Brians Birthday!

There were no fireworks for us on the 4th of July. However we always have Brian's Birthday to Celebrate on the 4th so it is never a forgotten day!

We celebrated Brian's Birthday all week actually. I figured he deserved it. He has worked so hard all year. He had his yearly review with his boss and his boss is so impressed with him and his work he gave him a 2 year pay raise instead of a 1 year pay raise. I guess that like never happens. I was proud of Brian.

So every day for the week before his birthday we gave him a small gift to let him know why he was special in our lives. He got some chocolate "smarties" and snicker "Delights" one night. We gave him some chilly peppers one night because he adds so much spice to our lives... you get the picture.

We had the sister missionaries over for dinner on the 3rd so we had BBQ chicken and chips and watermelon for dinner all in the name of the 4th and of course we had to have early birthday cake for Brian's Birthday.

On Brian's Birthday we did normal birthday stuff and just relaxed. We couldn't do much because it was Friday and Brian had to work and the girls had to go to school. So on Saturday we went to the beach to do something fun and to enjoy some time together as a family.

Below are some pictures. Enjoy. (Don't forget to press F5 to refresh the screan so that the pictures start from the beginning.)
