4th of July Weekend

We had a busy time around the 4th of July. First, we had some family come visit that I hadn't seen in about 15 years. We got together for an awesome bbq, went to Old Town and had a big family birthday dinner to celebrate Douglas' (July 2) and Jordan's (July 4) birthdays. Then on the 4th of July, our little family got together with some friends for another awesome bbq, some sword-fighting for the boys and an amazing view of the fireworks from their front yard. The weekend was jam-packed with fun.


My cousins got Claire this beautiful outfit so she wore it to the family bbq

They also got her this pretty headpiece

Old Town: Jared and cousin M pretended to be asleep, so Claire decided to join them

There was free face painting, so we decided to go for it. Claire was so patient and sat in the chair the entire time without moving a muscle.

The final product (she picked it out herself)

I decided to join in on the fun

Jordan turned the big 2-1 on the 4th

He got golf clubs for his birthday

My only shot of the 4th of July pigtails - one is red and one is blue

She decided this would be her chair for the day - just her size

I LOVE this other hairpiece my cousins got her - so beautiful!

Chillin' with Daddy

Douglas is on the left

Claire enjoyed the fireworks. She kept saying "Whee!"
