We had a great 4th of July this year! The weather was practically perfect and Amaia is starting to get old enough to really appreciate the fun of it all.
We started our day off at a parade and it was CRAZY with so many people, but we were able to find a spot and Amaia enjoyed herself, so it made it worth the craziness :) She didn't have to try hard at all to come away with quite the stash of candy, which she will be sharing with mommy and daddy.
Haddon didn't care too much about the parade yet, but he sure looked cute!
We then went out to a nice lunch and ice cream with grandma and grandpa and then went home for a full family nap - always included in a good day!
Then we went out to a party that our church was hosting and ate lots of watermelon - among other things.
Lucky for us my parents now live very close to where the fireworks are shot off from - so convenient. We hung out in the backyard and I let Amaia stay up waaaaaaaay past her bedtime to watch the fireworks for the first time. I am normally very protective of my kids sleep schedules, but she is getting to the age where it isn't as hard for her to stay up. I think she thought they were going to be scary before the fireworks started, but she ended up loving it. I wish I could of taken a picture of the awe on her face in the first few minutes.
So thankful that we live in the best country on Earth!
