We kicked off our 4th of July weekend with some girl time. Elle was in need of some one on one mommy time and I will happily take a date night with my best buddy. Two pedicures and some Italian ice made the perfect night!
She picked pink sparkle for her toes. :)
We had Italian ice at a new place in town. It was a little chilly sitting outside and to this day whenever we drive past it Elle says, "mommy, remember when we went there and it was so chilly?!"
The next day we woke up and made some treats for the BBQ at MawMaw and PawPaw's house that afternoon. She tried about a hundred Hershey Hugs and M&M's to make sure they were good while we were baking.

These two have the oddest relationship. More often than not they are fighting or purposefully annoying each other.
Aunt Paige and Bear!
That bunny didn't' stand a chance.
T-R-O-U-B-L-E!
The Voss boys were done in minutes but Elle is a slow one. Hens decided to speed things up by stealing licks when she wasn't looking.
Firework time!
The next morning we woke up early to go to the parade.We stayed up late the night before and Elle isn't a morning girl anyway so the parade was a little rocky for my oldest. #veryrocky
Oliver was in the stroller with the canopy up, golf umbrella over that and 2 fans on him. Living the life!
Mr. Missouri
There's a smile!
Home for naps, outfit changes and cooling off.
Babies first 4th!
We went to the O'Fallon fair with Mary, Nick and the boys but left Ollie with mom and dad. It was so hot and the crowds are crazy, I'm sure he had much more fun sitting on MawMaw's lap...one of his favorite places to be.
Side note: Smash Mouth was the headliner and it made me realize we are now old enough to know the main band at the 4th of July fair. I remember going in high school and having no idea who the old band was. Now I was a mom standing in line for kiddie rides singing along.
Ride time!
We rode the teacups just the 2 of us as the fireworks starting going off. We were screaming and having so much fun and Elle exclaimed, "Bink and Boke are here!". #imaginaryfriends
Bear was with Uncle E and Nick while we rode most of the rides. He even had Uncle E hand feeding him snacks.
That mustache is obnoxious. It was a one day thing for the 4th.
Some popcorn for the short walk back to MawMaw and PawPaw's.
Once back at mom and dad's we had Henry's glow stick party which is now a tradition since he had one in 2014 too. :)
And that's our 2015 4th of July. I love this holiday but as soon as it's over I'm done with summer and craving Fall.
