We had a great 4th of July weekend with lots of family, fireworks, and birthday cakes.
On the 3rd my brother Rem and his family came and stayed the night with us, as well as my sisters Robin and Kate. That night we watched the Logan fireworks at one of Joe's family parties. Josie loved the fireworks, her cousin Isabel did not. This is Josie clapping for them with Joe's Parents.
Josie's first fireworks show. She would say "wow" and clap then turn and give a huge hug and then do it all over again. It was adorable.
And the next morning it was Josie's 1st birthday, and my 23rd. So we had a nice breakfast. (Kate is hiding in the back, and Joe is taking the pic)
By the way for those of you who don't know, we are housesitting for one of my friends this summer in Logan. Behind our backyard we have lots of baseball diamonds so we had a rousing game of baseball in the afternoon with family and friends. Joe's mom is in the back, tanning while playing the outfield.
And later that evening we had a birthday party at Joe's parents. It was great. We had lots of food, then we opened gifts.
Josie and I got sunglasses, jewelry, books, toys, and many other gifts, including a Disney Princess mobile for Josie. She loves it.
We also just played around. Josie and Isabel both love to swing, especially with Grandma Leslie.
And my sister-in-law Lea helped me make Josie's very own birthday cake.
Unfortunately Josie was only interested in taking little pinches of the frosting. So she ended up sharing.
It was a great birthday for both of us and a great Independence Day.
