Every year on July 4th we not only get to celebrate America's Independence but we also get to celebrate my dad's birthday!
We partied at the Bungalow which was SO perfect because we could watch the Sugarhouse Fireworks from their front porch!! It was so fun!
My cute mom put together the birthday menu: MEXICAN!
We weren't sure if that was exactly kosher since it was Independence Day and all, but it was DELICIOUS!!! Pulled pork on top of yummy beans (and not just any beans... these black beans also had mexican sausage in them...YUM!!) on top of spanish rice served with roasted garlic and black bean tortilla chips!!
And in keeping with the Mexican birthday theme, we even had a pinata!! What would a Mexican party be without one?
Deacon wasn't sure about it!
...But Anna and James had a great time trying to break it open!!
But it was time to bring out the big guns.... and by big guns, I mean a 30 pound sledge hammer
In the Fisher Family we ask ourselves...."Why use a stick when you have a sledge hammer?"
After a serious workout and some tears of laughter (...or was that their biceps crying??),
they finally got it broken open...
...and Anna, James and Grandpa had a fun time trying to pick out all the candy from the grass!
After that it was sparkler time!!!
Deacon thought the sparklers were pretty cool...Ohhhh!!!
And next year he might be able to hold one all by himself!!!
We had fun playing with the camera and writing messages (this one is supposed to say "Happy 4th") and outlining our bodies!!!
Deacon stayed awake until about half way through the Sugarhouse Firework show but the rest of us sure enjoyed watching them from the comfort of the big front porch at the bungalow!!
Happy Birthday Dad!!
