4th of July..Aussie Style!

I've realized that I'm super lucky..
Lucky to have family who loves me beyond what I could have ever hoped for

Lucky that they realize that homesick-ness settles in around the 'American' holidays

Lucky that they only need 1 reason to have a proper celebration with all the family

Lucky that I'm here, have an amazing family & husband and got to Celebrate the 4th of July 'Aussie style' for the 3rd year in a row!

Brenden, Pete & Hamish

Katrina & Caleb

Pete, Brenden, Tony, Corinne, Rob & Hamish getting ready for fireworks!

Brenden, Corinne & Aunty Rhonda showing off their fireworks! The firework were silly little things, but they said it wouldn't be an American 4th of July without them!

Sue, Aunty Rhonda & Corinne

The flag that Aunty Rhonda found and put up

Caleb & Hamish being silly. They thought they were sooo cleaver sticking their feet up in the air. =)
