We had a fun and low key 4th of July. We pretty much just hung out here in the morning and then the older kids went with Tim to the Chanhassen parade with some friends–Maddie was napping so I stayed home with her and met up with them afterwards for a BBQ at the same friend’s house.
Here are some picture highlights of the afternoon:

This picture is cool because Maddie rarely cooperates when someone else wants to hold her these days. Not only did she let him hold her, but she was even SMILING!
We rented a cotton candy machine for the Garage Fourth of July event once. I thought it was really fun, too! I love cotton candy. The kids all look adorable, as they always do.
