Happy Birthday America!!!

July 4, 2009
We love the fourth of July!!! Friends, Family, Food and Fun is the theme for the day. As we have for the past two years, we initiated the day at the Children's Fourth of July parade. It was so wonderful to expose Miss Mila to this new family tradition that we participate in. Gannon's bicycle was decorated to the "T" this year, and it was so sweet to dress the kids up in red, white and blue to strut their stuff and pay tribute to their county - land of the free!!! After the parade and a little swimming at home, we headed to my best girlfriends home for some great conversation, food and fun (and a fantastic water slide for Gannon to enjoy with little friends). Thanks Ty and Teen! We then ended the day with more food, family and fireworks at my parents home. And I'm sorry to report that Gannon STILL didn't enjoy the fireworks this year, but Mila watched every one of them - go figure...


I hope that each and every one of you had a beautiful day.
