We started out our day on the Fourth with a pancake breakfast at church. The girls were super excited that they had made chocolate chip pancakes too! My mom and I spent the day before making Fourth of July shirts and banners. We had a Flag Raising Ceremony in our front yard, Maysie knows the Pledge of Allegiance by heart. Then we took some goodies to daddy and his crew at the fire station since he had to work this weekend. The girls played with the patriotic poppers we made. In the evening daddy met us over at Aunt Sharon and Uncle Randy's house for dinner and fireworks. The kids set up their own pretend restaurant, "The Hen House Cafe" and took orders for desserts and drinks. They put on their very own parade with only one minor injury when Maysie's wagon veered off the driveway and dumped her in the leaves. The fireworks were great and the desserts were amazing. It was nearly midnight when we finally got home and we were all exhausted! It was nice to have the kids go to bed without a fuss and stay in their room :) Oh, and I almost forgot we had a special batch of baby bunnies born this morning by first time mama Rose (seven in all!)
Such beautiful little patriots. Love the banners and the shirts. Good job Jolynne and Tanya.
