Happy 4th of July!!

This morning we got up and headed to our (very) small hometown parade! It was perfect. We sat on the side of the road and watched boy scouts, girl scouts, Grandma and Pop-Pop in the woodie, firetrucks and people performing with wheel barrels.

Andy looked adorable, as always. His shirt says "Made in the USA" This is a silly picture of Julie, but I think my mom looks beautiful!

Apparently it was not Julie's day for pictures. Her shirt says "miss independence" Fitting.

Look at these little besties. I love how much these girls love each other!

This picture was taken as my mom was pouring Pixie Sticks (aka straight sugar) into Andy's mouth. What are Memere's for, right?

And what is a small, home town festival without some face painting! Julie had a shooting star across her face that was easily mistaken for cat whiskers. But she didn't seem to mind.

After the festivities, we went home and rested a bit. Then headed out to watch a community band for a while. Julie is kind of obsessed with bands right now, so she loved it! Then it was out to Grandma and Pop-Pops for some wonderful dinner.

A great day with great friends and family! And now, both kids sleeping soundly. Happy Birthday America!
