This year was so fun when it came to celebrating the birth of Justin. Since his birthday is on the 4th we normally have all the traditional 4th celebrations all pack into one day. And we have to choose where to go and celebrate. But this year we were able to celebrate with everyone and everywhere.
Since the 4th has always been one of my favorite holidays it is centered around doing things with family. So Saturday we spent most of the time with my family. As tradition goes we went to the Cherry Days Parade with my family. You cannot have the 4th without a parade it is unAmerican.
The great thing is we can park at my mom's house an then just walk to our spots that we of course have saved. The parade this year was soooo long. It just kept on coming and coming. I really thought that it would never end. The best part of it though was enjoying it with family.
Then we headed up to the park for some good old Cherry Days activities. Basically walking around the park and talking to old friends and of course eating some great food. Then later that night it was off to a BBQ with my mom's side of the family. This is the first year since we have been married that we were able to make it to the BBQ. I was so glad that we could go and see my family.
Later that night Justin and I decided that we wanted to go and see the fireworks just by ourselves. This has never happened. It was so great to just enjoy them with each other.
Sunday came, Justin's real birthday. We of course had to party all day with his family. What is a birthday party without family.
Then on Monday we celebrated by going to the Farr West activities and a friend BBQ for the birthday boy. This was the first year also since we have been in Farr West that we have seen their fireworks show. Let me tell you it really put North Ogden's to shame. We had prime spots in our Bishops backyard sans all of the traffic and people. Hopefully we will be able to have the same spots next year.

This year he finally got the cake he wanted. Barbie!!
What a great was to spend Justin's 27th birthday. We had so much fun. Happy Birthday Justin!!!
