I did Hailey's hair in a star and sewed, yes stitched red ribbon into her hair to make the star stand out more! :)
I realize as I get older that I have some traditions that, to me, "make" the 4th of July. I LOVE this holiday, seeing everyone patriotic and all dressed in the nations colors gets me all misty eyed. I drove down the street today and found myslef going slower than normal, basking in the spirit of the day with the American flag lining the streets. I went to a flag raising ceremony at 7 while Dave and the kids slept. They had service men talk of their time serving and there was one man there who is crippled from his service. It makes me appreciate our armed forces.Then we went to the park for a hot breakfast and to watch the parade. Hailey loved the candy they threw until she got a sucker, then all she wanted to do was sit in her princess folding chair and eat her sucker. Then it was a BBQ with the Brown family complete with homemade ice cream. I love this country! What a wonderful day!

Killer hair-do on Hailey. You guys all look great and it seemed like you enjoyed the day!
4th of July is one of my favorite holidays, too! And... on a different topic... you're so sweet to invite us to dinner when we're in town later this month. Unfortunately, all our evenings are already spoken for. We're only there a few days, and we've got family bbq's and Lagoon... anyways, I really would like to see you guys, but it's just not going to fit into this trip. BUT we're moving home (for good) in December, so we can do a get together then! And we can see each other on a more regular basis, which will be nice :)
Happy belated 4th to you and your darling family. I loved seeing your parents and brother in the background, it has been a long time!
I love the star in the hair, you are awesome!
Amen-sister!!! God bless America! :D Love you too!
Cute pics Michelle. You have such a beautiful little family. What a great time of life you are in. Enjoy it, it goes so fast. We love hanging out with you! Thanks for being such a great niece and cousin to my kids. We love you!
look how cute your family is all decked out in matching outfits. Don't you love it! I think you are the cutest family ever!!!
You do an amazing job with her hair! It's so adorable. I just love the 4th too, and somehow, having kids makes it all magical again!
You all look great decked out in your fourth of July clothes!
