4th of July

Happy (belated) 4th of July!

We were excited to spend the 4th of July here at home with the sisters. Mark made homemade cinnamon rolls (yummy), and we went to the 4th of July parade here in town. Our friends from church invited us over to their house because their house was on the parade route. It was a little warm, so Lauren didn't really enjoy that, and she slept through a lot of it.

Claire loved the fire engine, the clowns, the band, and all of the cars. All of those in the parade gave out candy to the kids, which of course, Claire loved. :) It was a great little parade!

We opted out of fireworks because the sisters really can't stay up that long. Well, let's be honest, mommy and daddy don't really want to stay up that late either. We figure that right now, they are a little loud and we have plenty of years ahead of us to see fireworks! Mark's parents came for dinner, and we just had, all in all, a fantastic weekend.
