Fourth Recrap

We had an amazing Fourth of July weekend long celebration. It was hands down

THE BEST 4th I've ever had and I'm pretty sure we can thank our sweet girl for that.

It's true what they say -- holidays are so much more fun with kids! :)

 

We began celebrating the day before with the cutest most festive ruffle outfit ever.

Hence, the mini photoshoot.

Seriously, I die.

 

Don't mine her 13 layers of double chin.

Sitting like a pro these days... just don't ask her to roll on the reg.

 

 

 We spent the weekend up North in the MUCH cooler Flagstaff. My in-laws have a cabin up there so we usually try to make it up a few times each year. We hadn't been since last summer, so a trip was long overdue. It also happened to be Ellie's first ever roadtrip!

 

 And we're off (with Ellie's entire nursery in tow).

 

The cabin is on the golf course near the Country Club. So, we spent the Fourth celebrating VIP style at the Country Club. While it rained for the first 30-45 minutes or so, it soon cleared up and the rest of the afternoon/night were perfect! Cool weather + amazing food + unlimited bar + the best seats in the house + my little family = recipe for the best celebration a girl could ask for.

 

 

Loving her fingers Daddy.

 

She obviously had to try watermelon for the first time!

For you Phoenix folks, I can assure you rain still does exist.

 Loved spending the holiday with Grandma and Grandpa!

Oh, Ellie. What is up with these facial expressions you've got goin' on?!

The view! It couldn't have been more beautiful!

 

 

 

Stop it right now! I. can't. even. handle. it.

 

We had the pleasure of a lighting show in between the fireworks.

 

This little lucky duck loved being outside and basking in the sun each morning.

We spent Friday walking around downtown, shopping, going to an art festival, and we
stopped in a little café for lunch!

Yes, please (to both!).

 

Ellie's latest - refusing to smile for pictures rolling her tongue in every which direction.

Makes for a fantastic family picture, don't ya think?

More tongue action.                             Shopping with Grandma!

 Me and mah girls!
 



Brunch at the ever so infamous Beaver Street Brewery - our fav!

 

All in all, it was a wonderful weekend full of lots of family time. It was tough coming back down to the heat, but we have lots of fun events and things coming up to keep us busy!

 

Until next time.
