Independance Day

Having your anniversary on such a fun national holiday has its advantages and disadvantages ... we'd never want to go out and do something just the two of us because it is a fun family holiday (considered the disadvantage - but of course we could also go out the day before or after)

The advantage is we get to spend it with our family having a good time and being with the people who were there when we got married make it extra special ...

So like we have done every year (except 2004 when we actually got married) we went to my parents house to cook out ... hang out ... and see fireworks ... (although this year the trees were just too big to see them from DC so we watched them on TV)

We had some great food ... hanging out ... lots of giggles ... Granddaddy feeding Lincoln ... Schuyler modeling her new favorite hat and glasses ... and really can it be a bad day if you pass out with a lollipop in your hand? ... I think that is proof of a wonderful day ...
