Happy 4th of July!

This is one of our all time favorite holidays.  As you may remember, last year was a bit of a dud as far as the summer fun goes.  Our little peanut was adorable, of course, but it didn't really feel like the 4th (see last year's post here).  As you may recall, the sun decided not to come out and we were left wanting more.   Normally though, we love that this is the real start of summer.  We bbq with our friends and neighbors, soak up the sun and celebrate our nation's independence by drinking ridiculous amounts of beer, wine, cocktails, etc. and wearing copious amounts of red, white and blue (alright, only the youngest member of the family dresses appropriately...).  So, from our happy house to yours, we wish you a FANTASTIC 4th of July, full of wonderful fireworks, lot's of sun and the occasional adult beverage, should you choose to (ahem) "toast" America like we do.
