We had a great 4th of July celebration yesterday- church, then a BBQ party after church, then hanging out at home, then off to the Party in the Park. Mirabel saw a few fireworks set off by individual households during the music session and was dancing all around, but when it came time for the real display, the booms scared her. Last year we watched the show from someone's yard, and it must have been far enough away that she could just enjoy the show without being scared of the sound.
We went to the park with my friend Lisa and it was great to be able to bike home faster than the cars! We finally tumbled into bed around 11:30...the latest she's been up since she was a little skipper!
(Note the excitement of my day...I bought an Old Navy tank top in 2003, which has been my goto shirt for the 4th ever since. I found a matching tank for Mirabel for 50 cents at a garage sale and it made me smile all day long.)

You guys are so cute in your matching tanks! I have a tank from like 2002 and it's in dire need of replacement. Bjorn has a blue that he inherited from a family friend. Now that I think of it, I have a blue one, too. I must pull it out and take a picture of the tow of us! :-) We watched the fireworks from afar with Bjorn. He was very excited to be woken up for such an event.
Watching from afar is the way to go...now I know!
So cute! Glad to see your family finally!
