Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of JULY!

Des Plaines 4th of July parade is where its at...

Linnea & Signe LOVED the parade.

Linnea figured out the way to get candy was to wave and yell 'hi' - so she never stopped waving. She would turn and look at me for a picture with her arm still up in the arm, hand waving the whole time. Each piece of candy was lined up in front of her so she knew were it all was... and there was no sharing on her part. Nor did she eat much of it or ask to eat it.

Signe wanted to eat EVERY candy that came her way. She was all about putting the candy into her bag of loot. Loved most was probably the pencils and pen, along with a coloring book. She waved while holding on to the pencil. Signe was all about sharing her candy with me... we tried tootsie rolls and sweet tarts candy. She loved them both!

We were there with our good friends, their oldest daughter is a friend of L & S and they're sweet 1 week old baby was there too and what a trooper she was! Slept the whole time!

So happy 4th of July to all of our family and friends.

Hope that you too had a beautiful day.

Next year... fireworks! :)
