Independence Day

We had a great day celebrating our nation's independence with some good friends. We had a BBQ (complete with fantastic watermelon margaritas), let the kids decorate their own cupcakes, went to the pool, and conducted our own mini-fireworks show. Sienna loved playing with her friends, as did Scott & I, but she was not a fan of the fireworks (sireworks, as she calls them) when they were up-close-and-personal. They were just a wee bit too loud for her baby ears. She didn't want to go inside and miss out on the action. She didn't want me to hold her. She wanted her daddy. So he obligingly held and snuggled her close, so she'd feel safe. Because that's what daddies do.

quickly resorted to just eating the icing out of the can...

smoke bombs and snakes... the best!

cautious, but excited!
