With the Fourth being on a Wednesday this year, it was tough to do anything too extravagant but we still wanted a celebration so we hosted a pool party with our friends at home. A few of our baby friends were able to make it and a bunch of Ryan's pals were there to help celebrate his birthday.
We pulled out the water park from N's birthday, gathered all of our pool floats, and cooked up a patriotic spread of pulled pork, red, white and blue sangria and all sorts of goodies.
The boys enjoyed being boys, setting off fireworks at dusk over the pool deck. Nathan was enamored by the sounds and colors. We ended up staying home and hanging out on the patio chatting rather than trying to find a bigger fireworks display in the area but we managed to steal glimpses of some pretty big ones in the neighborhood.
It was a fun-filled day with good friends and I'm so glad we ended up making something of it rather than letting the day slip by (which Ryan would have been happy to do). No big birthday cake or singing for the birthday boy but I think he enjoyed his day regardless.
