4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July! It and Christmas are Elleigh's favorite holidays and she really misses spending it with family but I think she had a good day too. We just hung out together. It is rare that we get to spend a day just relaxing and playing. There is always something to do but we didn't do any chores and we just enjoyed each other.

Sallie playing outside in her bikini (daddy will end the bikini wearing at some point so she is wearing it while she can!) A grilling! He loves to grill and we love for him to!
Yummy Kabobs!
Millie's first 4th of July and she decided to celebrate by laying back in her stroller and sucking her thumb!
That afternoon we headed down to Granbury for their celebration. It was a lot of fun and HOT! As you can see, Millie and Lizzie did not want to sit on this bench and let me take their picture!
We found a good spot to watch the fireworks about 2 hours before they actually began so Lizzie is entertaining us! The girls were so good, especially considering it was 10 before the fireworks started and they lasted for 30 minutes.
Lizzie was full of love!


Some people near us had more ice cream cones than their group could eat and it was melting fast so they gave some to the girls. Well, you can imagine what a mess that was. Here we are going back and forth between Lizzie and Millie sharing a cone. We were all so sticky! I just let them get it all over them (and me). I am amazed at how much I have mellowed. There was a day that would have driven me crazy!
"I like this stuff!"
I can't seem to get good fireworks pics but here is some of what we got. They were really good. Oh, after we sat there for 2 hours there was a tree blocking our view. We could see them but not as well as we would have liked after waiting on them for 2 hours! We can now say we have seen the famous Granbury fireworks!

It took us forever to get out of Granbury and then to drive home so it was nearly midnight when we got home. It was a good day!
