Horray for the 4th of July! I think that it is one of my favorite Holidays. What could be better than being surrounded by family, friends, food, fire works, and fun!! Wow, that was a lot of "f" words. Ha ha. So this is how we celebrated Daxton's 1st fourth of July:
We got Daxton all dressed up Patrioticly (I think that is the best part of the 4th.. The cute new outfits.)
Then we headed down to the fire station. They have a FREE annual Fireman's breakfast. We feasted on eggs, ham, and pancakes. Mmm.. Daxton LOVED it, as did I. He saw the firedog dressed up in a fireman uniform and was a little freaked out. But he did get a frisby from him or her.
After breakfast we went and washed the Pick-up, and then headed home. We all took a nap and slept for 3 hours!!
When we woke up, we headed over to the Carlsons' house for a little while. He got fed FUDGE STRIPED COOKIES.. he absolutely LOVED them!!
Later that evening we had a BBQ at the Carlsons' house. We had steaks, hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, baked beans, veggies and fruit and dip.
Daxton was such a mess that I ended up having to give him a bath at the Carlson's house. Good thing a few weeks earlier we gave them some shampoo, and baby wash and lotion. We got Dax in his jammies after his bath and we sat around the fire and talked while the sun went down.
When it started getting dark we made our way to the front yard so we could enjoy the firework show. Good thing we had some pyro men, us women just enjoyed from a distance. Dax ended up falling asleep shortly after we started them so he didn't get to enjoy them as much as us, but he has MANY years of fireworks.
We didn't enjoy it for too long, before we had fireworks flying at our head at an alarming speed. (Thanks Doogan)
All in all we had a pretty great 4th of July. We are so thankful that we have such great friends to spend it with.
