4th of July Fun

Well, I think Bree had a pretty fun Independence Day. We actually took it easy for the majority of the day, just stayed home and played around. But, we did get together with friends this evening. We headed over to Shannon and Manoj's (Bree's friend Nayan's parents) house for a BBQ, along with Hannah, Scott and Kadyn. Bree was running around and super excited since it was the first time both her little friends were in the same place at once. Everyone had a great time but us parents were a little tired by the end, having three 2 yr olds all running around at once. There were plenty of skirmishes over toys and yelling "mine" but actually they got along pretty well. They were all excited to do sparklers, (although, a little skeptical that their parents were actually encouraging them to play with fire on the end of a stick). And, by the end the kids left each other with hugs and kisses and the parents with promises to all get together again soon.

Once we got home we decided to try and squeeze in a few more fireworks before we put Bree to bed (even though it was already past her normal bedtime) since we had decided not to go to a big fireworks display (way too late for miss Brianna). We mangaged to get through two "beehive" type dipsplays and then the third one made a whistling noise that scared Brianna to death and she burst into tears. So, we took our overstimulated baby up to her room and put her to bed. I guess we'll finish off our fireworks Saturday afternoon or something...our lucky, lucky neighbors...
