4th of July Weekend and G Braves!

We celebrated the 4th with family and while they were in town, we even had a little party for Ethan's birthday. I did not have my camera out to document the occasion but Mimi, Uncle CJ, Uncle Morgan, Uncle Chad, Aunt Ashley, Collier, and Caroline were all here! It was a great few days hanging by the pool and catching up :-)
Ethan and Caden had a blast getting thrown by Uncle CJ and Uncle Morgan!
And these sweet girls were as adorable as always!
Mimi was able to snag a picture of the cake. I had planned on doing cupcakes, but at the last minute Ethan said he wanted a Minion cake. We improvised ;-)
The only thing Ethan had asked for was a Nerf saw/gun.
Uncle Morgan got a kick out of thoroughly examining it ;-)

 Then Chad caught this sweet moment of me and Caroline wearing her "Sweetest Niece Ever" onesie!
Everyone left on the 4th so instead of doing fireworks in the cul-de-sac like we normally would, we decided to get last minute tickets to the Gwinnett Braves game and see their fireworks show. It was sold out but we were able to get 4 Suite level tickets...what a rough way to watch the game ;-)
The boys had a blast in the suite. When they got tired of sitting outside, they went inside to sit on the leather couches and watch the flat screen.
After the 4th inning, they got to take a break from the game, walk down to get ice cream, and jump in the bounce house and play some of the other games along the 3rd base line. 
Then we headed back up for the rest of the game
We won and Chopper came on the field to wave the victory flag!
The night ended with an amazing fireworks show from the comfort of our suite. It worked out really well because Caden decided the fireworks were too loud for him so he was able to go inside, lay on the couch, and play on the iPad while we watched the show.
What a great way to spend the 4th of July!!!
