With Independence Day on a Sunday this year, we ended up having a fun 3-day weekend full of celebrating.

Macey's french toast breakfast
The grand parade
Fireworks in front of the driveway
And a bit of the big firework show seen through the tree from our bedroom window while Ellie sweetly slept.
A happy time with lots of family and events. :)
