Celebrating the 4th!

Friday, July 4th was a day filled with family, friends, fun and food! Kent and Nedra came into town to celebrate Ed's 50 birthday, so we decided to have the entire family over for a cookout Friday night.

The McMillians, Jeff and Michelle and Chad, Jonalee and Slayton joined us along with Clayton, Nikki, Hunter and Hayden (who were visting the Searceys) for the weekend. It was so much fun to see everyone!

Mike, Clayton, Jeff and Chad played a few games of washers - and grandpa enjoyed watching from the deck.

Hunter is the same age as the kids, so they all had a great time running around and playing in the backyard and snuggling on the blankets in the driveway as we watched the fireworks that were shot off at the high school. We thought we would have a pretty good view from our driveway, but it turned out there were a few trees in the way! Oh well... we'll know better next year!
