Independence Day!

I always loved the 4th of July growing up and I have to admit it was mostly because I liked the new outfits! Now I will forever link the fourth of July to the way I spent it last year...In Labor!

This is how we spent Independence Day 2009...

We took it easy in the morning. Presley was having a rough week because of a new tooth coming in so we just hung out and she napped while I did some last minute preparations for her birthday.
We had a great lunch at the Whole Hog Cafe. Gotta love award winning bbq, ribs, and pulled pork!
The girls found these chairs outside a shop and fell in love...prompting an impromptu photo shoot.

These girls are going to be the best of friends. They are so lucky!


Travis and Keith took a nice relaxing nap together.
Aunt Lexi made the kids these cute buckets of goodies to take to the fireworks. Thanks Auntie!
Presley sweet talked her Mimi and Papa into bringing home one of the cute chairs from the furniture shop we found earlier. She absolutely loves her birthday chair!
We attempted to take a picture of the grandkids...this is what we got.

Family pictures weren't easy either. Between a teething baby and a 'posing' husband.
But we got a few. Thanks Lex.
The 'George'
It was so nice to have both of our families with us in Little Rock!

And Presley was so glad to finally have a whole day with Daddy!
That night we went down town and enjoyed the corn dogs, funnel cakes, fresh squeezed lemonade, symphony concert...
(no I'm not wearing a bandana, its my nursing cover!)
and of course...Fireworks!
It was such a fun day!
