My first Fourth of July

I had a great first Fourth! We had a busy day running to Dayton to visit with my mommy's side of the family, and then to Chickamauga to visit with my daddy's side of the family. Before we could leave the house, mommy insisted on getting a picture of Colin and me (yet she forgot to put my cute hair bow in :( ).

We arrived in Dayton to find my Marmee waiting to squeeze me! She held me a lot, and showed me off to lots of people.

My favorite person to visit was my Big Granny. Isn't she cute?

I was also a big fan of these patriotic things hanging from the trees....shiny!!!

here's another picture of Colin and me... if you haven't read my shirt yet, it says "Little Miss. USA."

I was the best rider, sleeping most of the time.

I was happy to see Stacia, Jamie, Mia, and Libby (not pictured :( ) at Aunt Peggy's house....

...and of course my Nita Bug too.

The Big girls got in the swimming pool while the big boys played ball.

I stayed up a little past my bedtime, but it was worth it. I probably should have just stayed at Aunt Peggy and Uncle Randy's house. Know why??? I heard fireworks until at least midnight from my crib. How was I supposedto sleep with all the racket? Well, I didn't. Daddy says next year we might as well stay up and watch. Happy birthday America.
