4th of July

After the splash pad, lunch and naps, we got dressed up in some red white and blues…. The boys were also in their swim trunks, ready for a pool party (which we didn’t end up going to… we couldn’t get the gate to open at their complex, so we ended up hanging out with the Rogers and had a blast there instead).  Lullaby was wearing the cutest little 4th of July dress you have ever seen. Grandma Stacy made it for her and she looked adorable in it!  The boys were hardly into picture taking. Notice Hawken in the background glaring at me in picture #1, and Sakina glaring at me in the next (picture #2), and then Matix looking like he was in pain in the last one (#3). Nice.

Thankfully, Lullaby was more cooperative and looking sweet and cute in all of them.

Then off to the Rogers for some more fun.  I love that our kids are all friends. They get along so well.

After a while, we took off Lullaby’s dress so she could get around more easily, and just in her shirt and bloomers, she was just as adorable. I love that Stacy thought to put a star on the bum… Too cute.

Ready for bed, cranky baby. This is a rare sight, and only happens when she is tired.
It was a low key 4th for us, which is just right for our little family. We love spending time with our friends.  No fireworks (it gets dark too late for our early to bed kiddos), but some year soon, they’ll be up for it.

It's not worth the aftermath to keep the kids up late yet. I'm on the same page as you on this one.

Picture number 6 is my all-time favorite. I forgot to put that in my post above.
