Our very own "Captain America and Spider Woman"
We loved having Jessica, Adam, Liam and Gigi come for a 2 part visit. They were with us in June after the Ragnar and for the camping trip and then they returned to Layton for a few days to visit Adam's family.

Of course the girls had to go to Gingers for lunch and enjoy their yummy falafel sandwiches and salads. Kyra joined us this time.
July 4th and Jon's Birthday
Our fourth of July celebration was in two parts. First we gathered at our home for a barbecue. Jessica, Adam and family were in Logan that day at Adam's sister's home to celebrate. Evan and Kelly and family were in Anaheim, California on a business/pleasure trip.
The kids looked so cute in their 4th of July outfits that I had to take their pictures.

Hal was the chef and the hamburgers and hot dogs were yummy!
Of course everyone wanted to hold baby London!
After dinner, we all loaded up and traveled to Allison and Jon's house for Jon's birthday celebration and fireworks.
We love our own family "firecracker" - Jon - Happy Birthday!
Jon's birthday cheesecake with carmel or hot fudge topping was delicious!
Then came the fireworks fun!
The sparklers were the "grand finale"!
The evening of July 5th, both Jessica and Adam and their family came, as well as Pam and Roger! We enjoyed a late dinner of a "pasta bar" with chicken, shrimp, mushrooms and a creamy sauce. It was so fun to be together!
July 7th
I had promised Gigi that we would make cupcakes together. We prepared and baked the cakes and she helped me make the frosting; then she frosted and decorated them on her own. Gigi is like her mom, and is a bit of a perfectionist. She was so dainty and careful as she put the icing on each cake.
Then, she very carefully put the sprinkles on top and....
WOW the finished product!
Yummy!
That evening, we had a family "Pizza Party" so we could spend more time with Jessica, Adam and their family. Gigi's cupcakes made a delicious dessert!
Best Grandma ever! Those grandkids are so cute and so lucky to have you and Hal! Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to see your 4th of July celebrations. You do indeed have very cute grandkids and I agree with Kay, they are so lucky to have you for a Grandma!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute Spider Woman and Captain America! Those two are the cutest kids. I got such a kick out of watching Gigi frost those cupcakes! I love being with you, Patty! You have such cute pics of your grandkids and what fun get-togethers you have!
