Celebrating Red, White & Blue x 2!


The past week and a half has felt like one big party since my sister had her baby in combination with the holidays. My parent were already visiting in order to see the new baby and so they joined us for our Fourth of July festivities. Gracie and Bailey had made lots of Fourth of July art at school so we started off the holiday with decorating the house. They loved helping hang up all of our red, white and blue around the house. Our neighborhood had a get together on Monday night. The fire works were really spectacular. The twins did not know what to think at first and they did not like the loud noises that they made. Gracie warmed up to them a little quicker then Bailey did. We had a bar b que at our home on the 3rd and the twins friend, Zach and his family joined us along with Preston's parents and my parents. We had a full house including 2 sets of twins! On the morning of the Fourth we went to the Cumming Steam Engine Parade. We took the twins last year but I do not think they remembered. They were not a fan of the loud Engines but they LOVED all the candy and goodies that they collected from the the people throwing them off the floats. Aunt Kara joined us for the parade. I love that Gracie and Bailey are starting to have a pride in their own Country and that they can recognize the colors of our flag and say" USA!"
