Red, White and Boom!

It was time for another Fourth of July at The Siegel's.  This year the weather was sunny and nice.  We started with Aiden's birthday and some delicious food then it was time for all the day works.  With Ella and Sam both lighting things constantly they began to run out of things well before dark.  There were some whiffle ball breaks for the boys, a water balloon fight, and we even through in a little retirement celebration for Uncle Al.  Even with all those activities my kids and a few of the men, wanting to light things off, had trouble keeping their patience for dark.  
Sam talked his dad into what I thought were a lot of nighttime fireworks this year until I saw all that Bobby purchased.  His fireworks combined with Scott and Becky's, Ryan's, and ours made for an impressive show.  The neighbors also lit off more fireworks this year so we had a lot to watch.  It was a fun way to celebrate Aiden and The USA!

Ella and Kylie with big smiles! 

I love that Cameron wore his birthday shirt so he and Sam could be twins. 

Happy Retirement! 

Ella loved the streamers. 

Sometimes he is a great big brother. 

Only some of the night works. 

Quick take a picture before she wants down! 

What an amazing and adorable helper!  I wonder if she will come work at my house?
