She makes me smile...

Independence Day 2011

Our actual July 4th was pretty low-key.  The biggest outing we did that day was grocery shopping - woohoo!  I of course dressed Hadleigh in her festive dress, and snapped a few pictures.  She was all laughs that afternoon, so shortly after she went down for her nap.  Enjoy!

We discovered the laundry basket is a pretty fun game as well!

Those smiles are the best thing in the world (well...other than the laugh that goes with it!)

Weekend before July 4th

The beginning of our long weekend was spent at the river.  We had a lot of family come down on Saturday and Sunday, so it was pretty busy.  We did get some sun and water time in though.  They had a party Saturday night, but we didn't stay too long cause we had to get Miss Hadleigh to bed.

We ended up coming back home Sunday evening, so we could go to Kelli's house for a small get together.  We had a lot of fun and Hadleigh got to see a few fireworks for the first time!  She wasn't scared at all.

Us girls trying to light sparklers, but come to find out they were incense - nice!

All in all it was a really nice busy weekend!  We love seeing our friends and family every chance we get :)
