She wasn't scared at all--of the fire trucks or the horses or the loud drums in the high school band! It was really fun. Ellia slept through all of it. :) Here are the girls in their T-shirts from Celeste. Ellie's says, "Little Firecracker."
She's so proud of the tattoo ("pattoo") that she got at the parade... a red, white, & blue heart. I told her emphatically that pretend tattoos are okay for special days, but forever tattoos are NOT! :)
Livvie took a grrrrrrrrrrrreat nap after all that excitement! I called Nate at 4-ish to discover that he would be home in about 40 minutes! Yay! (Thursday night he worked til 9:30 p.m. Yuck!) So we went over to the Limbacks' home [head coach @ Concordia] and enjoyed an evening together. We had picnic food, s'mores, and played a couple rounds of Sequence. Kelley & I won. :)
All in all, a very nice holiday.

So cute!! We had a great Fourth too! To my surprise(not his daddy's), Gage LOVED the fireworks. He missed a nap, hates loud noises, and is not a big fan of chaotic crowds, but he sat very still on my lap with his head resting on me and stared at them the entire time. Guess sometimes it pays to take a chance! Glad yours was fun too! Adorable shirts and tattoo too.
sounds like a fabulous fourth! so glad ellia slept through the parade for you so you could enjoy things with livvie. love the cute patriotic shirts too!
