Our family had a fantastic time ringing in the 4th at the Fays with friends. Thank you Shane and Lisbeth for hosting such a great cookout at your house. Miller had a grand time exploring Allie's toys inside and outside. While he loved visiting inside with all the ladies....Miller wanted to be outside with all the guys by the grill most of the time. He didn't want to miss out on all the manly banter!
After playing, eating, exploring, and sweating, it was time to take this patriotic boy home to squeeze in a cat nap before the fireworks. So off Miller and mommy went, 5 minutes up the road to rest. While we were away from the party, the "boys" managed to get into a little trouble. They entertained themselves with fireworks in the driveway..blowing up cupcakes and sending lego men attached to bottle rocks flying in the air. These men never grow up!! And through all the noise, action, and adventure...Allie was sound asleep in her bed napping too!!
We reunited about an hour later ready to watch a spectacular fireworks show in Roswell. We staked out a grassy area near Home Depot in anticipation for the first pop in the sky. Miller and Allie were the only babies in attendance with the addition of three more on the way. They enjoyed playing on blankets and eating crackers. They had no idea what they were about to witness in the sky above them. Notice how hard it is to get two toddlers to both look at the camera and look pleasant!!
Dada and Mr. Anthony enjoyed "rough housing" with Miller. They showed him all the lastest wrestling moves. Mr. Anthony enjoyed zerberting Miller's belly. He could barely get away from their hold....squirming and wriggling to break free from their grasps. You could tell by his face that he enjoyed all the tickling attention.
The show started around 9:30, two hours past Miller's bedtime, but he was such a trooper. He sat still (amazing) in dada's lap with his special car in hand to watch all the fireworks in the sky. Allie and Miller new something special was happening as they would point their fingers to the sky to make sure we didn't miss the show.
Happy 4th from our family to yours!!
