Happy 4th of July Weekend

We have had such a fun weekend celebrating July 4th! We got up Friday morning and went to the Coppell 4th of July parade with my parents. We had a great time seeing old friends and all the red-white-blue festivities. I think Dakota had the best time though. It was her first parade and she was completely over-stimulated but thought it was all fantastic. Sadly, I did not take any pictures. :( After the parade my grandparents came over and Dad grilled up some burgers and dogs with fresh watermelon and of course some fried chicken. Can you think of any July 4th dish we left out?? It was good eatin' yesterday. :)

After a little nap we headed over to our friends' Mark and Kari's house for yet another July 4th party with Mark manning the grill and turning out some beautiful burgers and corn on the cob! So yummy! Kari had made a fruit pizza for dessert that looked just like the American flag....truly a piece of art, Kari! And then after sending their sweet daughter Rylie off with her grammy and papa, we headed to Plano for some fireworks. It was a great show as always (this is starting to become an annual tradition, M & K). We had a GREAT time! Happy Independence Day everyone!





We thought we might have felt some kicking from little "he" Saf (I know....terrible.....we are working on a real name for him) with the loud fireworks show but he slept right through it.
