July 4th was celebrated on a Monday this year. We adorned our family in red, white, and blue and waved our American flags proudly while saying prayers for the service men and women both past and present who had given us our freedoms.

Our Sunday morning would begin with delicious red, white, and blue (pan)cakes with my perfect little seus chef by my side.
On the day of the Fourth, the weather was a bit overcast. It had also rained the night before. I couldn't miss taking patriotic pictures of our littles. They turned out adorable.
Loving my patriotic boy!
This was our 3rd year attending the
hometown red, white, and blue parade as I love fun family traditions.
Aubrey loved waving her flags and watching out for horsies and other parade animals.
After a few family fourth photos, it was time for the parade to begin.
The kids did amazing, including my sleepy little boy. The parade was an absolutely perfect picture of patriotism and full of July Fourth fun. After the parade, we had made plans on visiting sweet church friends for a cute family get together that afternoon, but would quickly be cancelling. Yep, we quickly realized little miss had lice. So sparing you any of the horrific details (even though the lady reminded me that it was not Ebola just lice), it took us 4 hours of debugging the whole family (we all were gifted with this wonderful little greatness) and 7 hours of house cleaning. I am so grateful for our wonderful friend who came, on a holiday, to rid us of our big problem. So it was definitely not the day we had in mind as almost everything was quarantined to the garage including little misses toys that went on "vacation." But I am thankful for the morning of denial that we had while we enjoyed some July fourth fun with our family.
