God Bless America

What a beautiful day to celebrate our independence. JJ had an incredibly busy week at work, over 60 hours in 4 days, which included him working on the fourth. We enjoyed the Ridgefield Parade in the morning, had nice naps and then had some friends over for a bbq and fireworks. Thankfully, our neighbors do a pretty good job of lighting their money on fire, so we don't have to! JJ did invest $20 dollars this year but as I am sure you know, it didn't go far!

She was not a fan of all the large tow trucks and loud fire engines!


At our place we encouraged the kids to bring their bikes for a bike parade. There were all sorts of random patriotic decorations for the kids to use.

Leading the pack around the neighborhood.

Look at her face, not so sure about even sparklers!

playing with the older girls!

Ellinor loved the sparklers. She even decided to burn her eyebrows with one!
