Abuela Meme's Birthday and the Fourth of July

We went to my mom's house to celebrate Abuela Meme's Birthday and also the fourth of July. Since it was a Sunday afternoon this year w didn't plan anything wild or out of the ordinary but had dinner at my mom's house and cake and Abuela opened presents.Ryan was there with Roman and we missed Rory as he was in South America on his adventure of a lifetime. The kids had a blast playing together - I love that they are close enough in age to play together and the adults had fun hanging out.The funniest part was when it was time for the cake - in honor of how well Uruguay was doing in the World Cup, I made her a Uruguay inspired cake. My mom didn't have any candles - she never does...and so Abuela had to blow out a match. Oh well, as long as you have something to wish on...We tried to leave in enough time to catch some fireworks and we felt a bit like the firework chasers that night because we saw them here and there but didn't get to see whole show from start to finish. No biggie, we'll plan better next year!
