{Fourth of July}

It has become a tradition of ours to head down to San Antonio for the week of 4th of July.
We had a great time spending time as a family in the hot San Antonio sun!
We swam, roasted marshmallows, went to the movies, ate out, and just soaked up all the festivities that they had going on.   
The boys loved getting their faces painted, watching fireworks, and watching their favorite magician.
We had a GREAT time!

{Lego Harry Potter Birthday!}

Thatcher is REALLY into Harry Potter right now...

We read it every night before bed, and I often hear him repeating spells around the house.

He especially LOVES LEGO Harry Potter...so that is the theme he chose for his party this year.

We had some of his favorite friends over for an afternoon filled with all things Harry...


All the kids dressed up in their Harry glasses and robes...

The fireplace all adorned with easter and birthday stuff...it's a good eclectic mix.


Birthday banner.

Thatcher's favorite...Hogwarts that he built with Todd over Christmas break.

Cupcakes...




The decor....

The goodie bags...


When the kids came in we took them to this corner and dressed them in their Harry glasses and robes!

We then sorted the kids into the different houses...

The sorting hat we got was SO cool...
it had a little pocket inside where you could hide a phone that was on speaker.
Todd hid in the other room and did the voice of the hat on the phone.

When I put it on the first kids head and it began to talk the look on their faces was PRICELESS!
It was great!

Until some kids started getting sorted into Slytherin, and there was some protesting! 

One of the activities was making wands...the kids loved it.








We then went outside and played find the snitch and Quidditch! 








Next it was off to Potion Class...this was a HIT with these boys!









Cupcakes and Ice Cream...





Present time...
