4th of July!

Victoria painted my toes!

4th of July is always a day of Family Fun!  Unfortunately our little family wasn't complete without Cory, but Charlize, Sno, and I had enough family fun for the four of us!  Cory worked 6am-6pm the night before followed by another 6am-6pm shift the night of, so he was sleeping for the majority of the day.  But that is okay, because sometimes daddy's have to do what daddy's have to do!  And Charlie's daddy had to keep the bad guys in jail just like he did last year and the year before that.  Maybe next year he will get to spend the day with us and it will be even better when Charlie's here!

We started the day off bright and early at the Irving 4th of July Parade.  Sno, Charlize, and I made our way to down town Irving at 9 in the morning to watch the parade with my cousins Allie and Ava.  It was so much fun!  Ava shared her candy with Charlie and Great Grandpa bought us Chicken biscuits from McDonalds!  We also saw Corby and Katie Hodgkiss at the parade with their little girl, Jade.  She is so cute!

4th of July Strawberries!

After the parade we helped Aunt Andie make 4th of July strawberries!  So good!  Then we went home to see Charlie's daddy for a little while.  Cory woke up just in time to get ready for work, but at least we got to see him for a couple of hours.

Me and Ava watching Fireworks!

Then we went to Grandma Carla's house for the 4th of July party!  We ate hot dogs and hamburgers and then made our way down to the Irving Convention Center for the fire works!  The fire works were awesome!  I've never seen them so close before in Irving.  The Countryman side of the family was there too watching them from not too much further away!  It was a great way to end the night!

After that we went back to "3 Tweezie" and Katie brought over a friend to play with Andie's dog Bevo...
