It is so different to celebrate 4th of July in a state where fire works are illegal. I never realized that it made a difference until the girls came. All of my years growing up in PA and OH....there were always lots of loud fun on the 4th. We hit a lot of sales yesterday morning....and returned to have a BBQ with the family, but there was not a single sad sparkler. The girls are still a little too little to watch the Macys fireworks on TV....they were fast asleep before they even came on the television. It was a relaxing day anyway. We tried to get some pictures of the girls together, but it was hard to get everyone to cooperate at the same time.....someone was trying to get away...someone else was crying. We got a cute picture at the window, and another of them trying to stick their fingers in uncle Tony's birthday cake......yum!
