Annie and I had a very exciting 4th of July! We missed Matt, who is still back in Michigan working, but we took lots of pictures and videos so he could see. So here is a very informative post about our day :) We started at Gigi and Grandpa Jeff's to watch their development parade. It was not very exciting, but Annie got a frisbee and she looked very cute. She was dancing and waving to everyone.
Later, we went to Ella's first birthday party. They had a bounce house that was tons of fun for the kids. Annie, being Annie, threw herself right in and started bouncing. She loved it. She also loved the sandbox, but her bevhavior there left a little to be desired, so we had to stay away from that. Ella looked very cute and got tons of good presents. She was toddling around like a champ. Annie and Mallory also had fun going down the slide. They spent what felt like hours climbing up and sliding down.

The kids bouncing around: Also,don't mind my annoying and random commentating. I was on the phone with Matt while I was taping and forgot it would record me.
After a slight meltdown at the birthday party, we left to go see the fireworks downtown. Annie was getting tired but did pretty well. She got to go inside a firetruck with Grandpa, but as the picture shows, she was little freaked out. Maybe next year she'll like it more! During the fireworks, she started to get a little stressed out by the all the loud booms. She was frantically rubbing her lovey and started saying "All done, Mama! All done!" But I slapped Matt's study headphones on her ears, and she loved it the rest of the way. She was clapping and oohing and aahing :)
