Happy 4th and 5th of July!

We had a great Independence Day weekend! Mrs. Dava at church got Olive this precious little sailor outfit for 4th of July, so she had to pose wearing it before we left for church.

We spent the afternoon at Dano and Honey's house. Dessie, Paul and Sharla were visiting so we got to spend some time with them.

WWWHHHHEEEE!!!

"Watch me swing, Daddy!"

Auntie M loved playing with me!

Gigi really liked showing Olive off to her sister, Dessie.
Olive discovered Dano's rocking chair from when he was a little boy and she loved climbing in and out, in and out, in and out...

We had a great time with family and then headed home to watch fireworks. The only problem was, Hurricane Alex created massive amounts of rain in our area, so they cancelled the

fireworks. Ugh!

Monday evening, we had a little cook out at our house.

Molly brought the coolest necklaces and was so sweet to share them with Olive.

Since the city cancelled fireworks, we had to do a few our own. I couldn't stand the thought of Olive not seeing fireworks on her first 4th of July! Here she is safety inspecting them with Daddy. At first, she thought they were really neat. She seemed to enjoy watching the colors.

And then, this happened...

And she freaked out. Poor girl, I've never heard her scream like that before. She recovered fairly quickly when the fireworks were over.

Sweet friends!

Happy 4th of July!
