Fourth of July was great! We headed downtown to watch the Kirkland Parade! It was super sunny and we got a great spot right on the curb to watch all the kids, cars, firetrucks, and more! After the parade we went home and rested and then headed over to Poppi and Gigi's for a fun bbq with all the gang! It was great to see the cousins running around together! Then we came home and watched the fireworks out on the street again! It's now our firework watching spot! The boys loved staying up so late! It's a great marker for a birthday the next day!!! It was nice! Real nice!
Check out those chubby thighs!!! LOVE! And her cute outfit from Judy!!!
