Happy 4th Y'all!

We started out our morning with the Lakewood Parade!

Ready to roll!

Waiting patiently for the parade to start!

It was pretty hot

The Stonewall Jackson "float"

Loved seeing our friends in the parade!

Love that basically everyone had either OurVillageJewelry or Swag Designs earrings on! Loved all the 4th of July options!!!

I am wearing these:

Check out: OurVillageJewelry for more designs!

Checking out their loot...

Ready for lunch!

We headed over to Matt's El Rancho for some Tex-Mex

Then up to Lakewood to continue out July 4th festivities!

Cotton candy for all.

Sweet girl!

And lastly, a little Martha Washington for your July4th celebration...brought to you by me....and a frozen deep eddy ;)

It was a tough decision but we decided to skip the fireworks this year - probably the last year we can get away with doing that.  

And as for our usual July 4th celebration at the Terry's - well this year was a little crazy with our beach vacation falling the week before...and then July 4th falling on a Tuesday. BUT we did make an appearance - we drove down to Cedar Creek on Sunday to hang out with everyone. Always a good time - wish we had more!

Another great holiday in the books! 

Brunch with the Bunny!

Saturday morning we headed to the club for brunch with the bunny!

These pictures always crack me up. I am surprised that Hayden is actually smiling because she was not thrilled about this whole situation. And Grayson looks like he is about to tip over. lol! Love this little tradition!

Back to Saturday...

I also tried to get one of all the kids...but guess who wasn't going for it?

Oh well- I am guess next year she might be ok with the bunny. 

Anyhow...

We were actually ready a little early so we snapped a few pictures before piling in the car.

Hayden was so excited to be in the 3rd row with Grayson! Such a big girl!

Ryan was a little apprehensive with petting the animals...but Yiayia T showed him how its done!

In line for the bunny...she was not thrilled about this.

Just chillin'

She kids looks like a little old lady here...she's precious. 

So happy with daddy!

Off to the egg hunt!

Hayden did well. The trick is to give them small easter baskets! lol

Success!

She loves her Papu!

Breakfast with Santa

"Make me handsome" says Grayson. 

What a stud! 

Of course I couldn't get her to stand still for a picture and when she finally did I was facing the sun. Oh well, I'll take what I can get....

Kevin took Ryan to his 9am basketball game so we caught a ride with the Hales to Breakfast with Santa. A few selfies while we waited...

And we're done! lol

Once we made it to the club we snagged a table and then went exploring! We found some friends out on the train!

So we waited in line for our turn...

Riding with the girls!

This sweet little bug held on to my leg the whole ride. 

We grabbed some breakfast and watched the Elf do a magic show. 

The line to see Santa was crazy long so we bailed on that.

Instead we got a little visit from Mrs. Clause. Hayden wasn't too sure about her either....

One last pic at the tree on the way out...

Grayson + Hayes = Besties

And the mommas...with a few stragglers.
