We are big fans of July 4th in this family, We celebrate the way many if not most americans do, parades, cookouts and fireworks!

This year, was no different!

There is really nothing cuter then bella waving that American flag around like an all American girl. I will miss these days, so I cling to them tightly.

I have always had a real tree growing up and thought I always would. Like most people though I gave in and tried a fake tree because it was easier. I wanted my daughter to experience a real tree however so went to a tree farm and picked one out. We did a few other Christmas things that day and here is the video I made.
