July 4th and family

This is the first Independence Day that my older kids have been big enough to remember in their own country. For the little ones it is their first ever. For four years we have celebrated our country in Europe wishing we could be with family and friends. This was finally our year.

It was nice to be all together with Chris's parents and his two sisters and their families. It was the first time that our kids have been together with all their cousins on that side. We went to the mountains of NC. There are a ton of pics so I will just post some of my faves.
