4th of July, 3 Birthdays, and an Anniversary!

Hope everyone how a wonderful 4th of July! Yesterday we celebrated the 4th of July, my paw paw's 80th birthday, my dad and uncles birthday, and my grandparents 60th anniversary all at ONE party! All of their birthdays and my grandparents anniversary lands in the month of July. Talk about a busy month!

My grandparents had the party at their house....I made the invitations for the party! They had around 50 guests show up....all of my dad's side of the family came and a lot of their church friends. We had brisket, chicken, beans, potato salad, chips, and dips for lunch. It was good! 

Here is my grandparent's anniversary cake that my mom bought! She was SO proud of herself that she arranged this table ALL by herself too! She framed old pictures to put on the table!

About to cut their cake! We even made them kiss! Ha!

My Paw Paw's cake....my aunt found him a hat that said the same thing! We had A LOT of cake to eat!

Yep...that's right....we put 80 candles on the cake! Talk about a fire hazard!

My cousins helped him blow out his candles!

My aunt gave my dad this shirt for his birthday....it's perfect! His name is not Bob but we call him Bob because he is just like his father, ha! We waited till we got home for him to open it because I don't think his parents know we call him that! He loved it Michelle!

After the party I met up with my friend Kristan for dinner! Kristan is home for the summer for work. We went to Johnny Carinos for dinner! It was SOO good seeing her! I have missed her! : )

Afterwards, we went to Sam Houston Race Park to bet on horses and watch a firework show!  What a great way to spend the 4th! We didn't know we had to pay to park and we didn't have any cash on us (just debit cards) so they let us in FREE! How nice! We had a lot of fun! 

I won 3 dollars!!! BIG MONEY!

FIREWORKS!!!!

I love this picture!

It took us FOREVER to leave the race track. We sat in the parking lot for about 50 minutes in traffic. We had fun though jamming out to music! It was great seeing you Kristan! Can't wait till you move back! 

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July Weekend!!!! Sorry this post was SOO long!

4th of July Flashback

Last year for the 4th of July we were in Destin, FL! We celebrated at Pat Obrien's that is located on the Harbor! Have y'all ever been there before or the one in New Orleans?

On the Harbor

The Patio

We ate dinner on the patio and watched the firework show that was over the water

I ordered this yummy drink called Rainstorm - it was SO sweet! They let me keep the glass too!

Oh, how I wish we were back there again this year!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!! 

4th of July in Destin!

We spent the 4th of July in Destin this year. On the night of the 4th we went to the restaurant Pat Obrien's. You might have heard of the Pat Obrien's in New Orleans before....they just opened this one up in Destin. We sat on the patio which over looks the ocean. It was really cool because they put a firework show on right where we were.

This drink was called Rainstorm...soo good but sweet! I got to keep the glass too!

One place that we like to go to in Destin is called The BoatHouse Oyster Bar. Its a really small place that is covered in 1 dollar bills. It's a pretty fun place!


And just so happens the table we sit down at has this written on the table! Ha!
