Independence Day

Hope you all had a great Independence Day.  We sure did.  We watched the parade, had a bbq in the backyard with lots of family,  played at the park,  and watched lots of fireworks. 

Claire loves You Tube.  Random, I know. Especially since she rarely ever watches tv.  A few years ago her big thing was watching garbage truck videos....the ones where someone followed a garbage truck around for 20 minutes as it emptied garbage cans and then posted it on You Tube.  Well lately her thing to watch is people making cakes.  She loves it!!   Her fav is someone who is explaining how to make a rainbow cake.  She has been talking about it nonstop.  So on Sunday we changed the idea up a little bit and the two of us made Independence Day cupcakes.  She was so excited and instantly ran over to her cousins house to give them each one.  The funny thing is that she didn't eat a single cupcake.  She just wanted to break them in half to see the design inside.





How cute is she!!!

Claire and Crue with some of the younger cousins just after the parade. 

Crue, Claire, Grandma Holly, Sam, Grandpa Holly.  Crue didn't care at all about trying to get candy at the parade.  His favorite part was walking around and seeing how many times he could sneak a drink.


The Fam...Luke had to work this year during the parade but we caught up with him later and went to the park together.

Fun at the park with Megan

Tiegan is also obsessed with cake videos on YouTube! Betty Crocker has a ton of "Howdini" ones and they make a fire truck and I swear he has watched that at least 100 times. And the garbage truck ones crack me up because I always think it is little boy making the video, and then all of a sudden a big hairy arm comes into the shot and I realize that it is in fact an adult man. lol. Happy 4th!
