Independence Day with family...

This year was a little sparse..... 
ten were missing from our annual 4th of July Erickson family photo
The Erickson clan 2015

Mom and Dad with some of their grands and great-grands
7 were missing, including 1 day old Eli.

Our 3 little ones.

  1. Great pictures and captions. Only one correction. The doll is a hollyhock not a poppy.

  3. What's with the vintage trikes this year? Those were out at my family Fourth gathering also. Such fun for the kids. Love that your mom made the doll from a Hollyhock.
