Family + Friends + Food + Fireworks = Fun on the Fourth! I've always hated this holiday (stupid people + alcohol + explosives = terrifying combo), but it's starting to grow on me. In fact, I kind of like it....maybe even love it, a little....maybe. I wasn't feeling very festive this year and did very little (and by little I mean pretty much zero) planning. Fortunately, other people did, and thanks to them, we had blast! My mom (Grammy) bought the girls dresses, invited us over for a cook-out, and made a cake for the girls to decorate. She even decked out her dining room with cute patriotic decor.

| In the 60 seconds it took me to load the lawn chairs in the car, Bug found a baby bird. She walked up behind me excitedly saying "look Mom! A real live bird!" |
Later we went to Heather's house. There we enjoyed more food, s'mores, root bear floats, fireworks, and time with friends.
 |
| All the kids got glow bracelets. Bear pretended hers was a light saber. |

We got home pretty late. After sleeping in a little and running a few errands, we went back to Heather's the next day for a group play date.
