4th of July

Mike and I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July!
"Let's get this party started!"
"I love my flag."
"Happy 4th of July everyone!"
A snuggle with my cutie pie before...
we headed to the Ladera Ranch parade.
Ladera Ranch clubs, community groups and families are able to participate in the parade.
So, we thought we would join in the fun. Sometimes we were in the parade and sometimes we watched from the side.
"Ooh, a dragon."
It was a bit warm, but super fun!
Then, we headed home for Landon to take a nap and for me to make a yummy treat for our street party.
The families on our street have been very friendly and welcoming. We have already been to a birthday party, baby shower and now a 4th of July party.
All three of us had a great time...
just hangin' out.
"Mmm, my first hot dog."
Mike and our next door neighbor (a.k.a. Mike's BFF) chatting the evening away.
Landon watching a water gun fight and...
enjoying some sidewalk (or should I say, "street") chalk.
Finally, it was time for Landon to get ready for bed while Mommy and Daddy watched the fireworks from the balcony. Well, someone decided for the first time that he didn't want to sleep in his crib, so while Landon slept in our bed, we watched the fireworks from our bedroom window.
It was a wonderful 4th in our new home!
