Celebrating the 4th of July looked a lot different this year with the pandemic, but we loved hosting our family at the new house!
We definitely missed cheering on Daddy at the Peachtree Road Race. The race has been rescheduled for Thanksgiving, and we will be there to continue the running streak.
We moved in two weeks ago and have been filling our time unpacking boxes, hanging pictures, and organizing rooms. Jay has been the MVP with all the checklists that he has completed for me. We wanted to have as much of the house set up as possible.
I loved finding festive recipes to serve at the party. I let Publix handle the fried chicken, and Gram brought yummy deviled eggs and baked beans, but I created some super easy Independence Day treats!
The kids spent most of the day swimming in the pool while the adults relaxed on the porch. It was just the perfect day.
The festivities ended with an amazing fireworks show in our cul-de-sac. Jay and the kids hit up the local fireworks store earlier in the day, and our neighbors brought out the big guns as a grand finale. I think it was the latest the Thorne children have ever stayed up when they finally fell into bed after 11pm!
I know this was the start of many parties at our house. It was the main reason we moved to Roswell to have the space to entertain friends and family.
While our reality is a little crazy right now, we are still living in the best country in the world. Happy 4th of July!
