Because the 4th of July is such a BIG day in my family, my sweet neighbors and I decided to have a cookout last year. It went great and thus this year we did it again. It was a very fun time with our neighbors, the Rusnacks, and some of our church family!
Me, Sheryl, and Suzie getting ready to eat!
The Lampheres, Glenna and Blayne, and Glenna's niece, watching the Frisbee game!
Suzie and Justin cooking the hamburgers. What a handsome man on the grill, and yes, he is all mine!
Karis filled her plate with what she likes best: a hot dog, not in the bun, Cheetos, fruit, and jello. At least there is some variety!
Joseph, another one our church family, playing Frisbee with the kids!
Steve Lamphere and "neighbor John" as my kids call him, enjoying some Frisbee too!
I made our annual flag fruit pizza this year. My favorite thing about the cookout, the dessert of course! Glenna made a ice cream sandwich lasagna thing, YUMMY!
The kids dressed in their flag shirts!
Karis loves helping "neighbor" decorate the tables, so when she finished, her and Noah got to sample some food before the guests arrived! Who knew fruit in a cup would be such a hit!
I am so blessed to have such a wonderful church family and neighbors. God is good to allow me to continue to celebrate the freedom of our country with such special people. I did miss my family, but not near as much!
Thank you to all who serve our country.

Cute post and great pics Jeanna! I've done that cake before and never thought of placing bannanas in the middle of the strawberries stripes-thanks for the idea. :-)
It looks like you all had a great 4th of July. I like the picture of you and the kids, it is great!
Glad that you all had a wonderful time!
