So here are just a few snapshots of our fun day celebration our country's birthday! We told Amelia it was our country's birthday- America's birthday- and we were going to a birthday party. She sang "happy birthday A-merry" all day long!
All the kids in the pool- Amelia LOVES to swim!
Just look at this big grin- the other kids would pick her up and drop her in the water- she would come up sputtering with a HUGE GRIN- she loved it!
just love the pure excitement. . . joy . . and fun on that sweet little face
As the sun set the pool water got chilly- the boys got out but Amelia and Addison stayed in. Then I noticed Amelia was shivering and her teeth were chattering so we headed back inside for dessert!
Amelia absolutely adores her friend Addison- she calls her Addisee in such a sweet little voice
Usually Amelia doesn't actually eat the whole cupcake- she will like off all the icing and be "all done"- and she is not a big fan of chocolate (I know, my child doesn't care for chocolate - what?!) but she devoured this cupcake (I think seeing her friends devour their cupcakes played a big role in her eating all of hers :)
Our friends live on a cul-de-sac and several of the neighbors were setting off some pretty big fireworks right over our heads- Amelia loved looking at all the colors. The loud noise didn't bother her one bit. Luke would jerk his head every time one would go off but he didn't cry or seem bothered at all. On the other hand, my friend's kids all got scared at different points and would run back toward the house crying.
