Celebrating the Fourth



We started celebrating the Fourth of July this year with the twins helping me to put up our flag decorations. As you can see, they were really into hanging the flag on the front door as they are fighting over it in the picture above! We also did a little art project one day where we made flags and colored them. This past Friday we headed up to Helen to celebrate the holiday with Preston's family. The twins had a great time playing with their cousin Mary Elizabeth and they loved swimming and visiting downtown Helen with their Grammy. Preston enjoyed playing golf with his dad and brothers and we were blessed to be able to enjoy a double date with Parker and Nicole while his parents watched all three little ones! We came home on Sunday and today we met our friends at the Steam Engine Parade in downtown Cumming. It was so much fun to watch the twins clap and cheer as we watched the parade. I think this was their first parade in which they have attended. Bailey especially loved watching the trains and different types of trucks that were a part of the parade. I love that Gracie and Bailey are at an age now where they are beginning to understand the different holidays and that they can join in our celebration.
