back at the house - everyone's set up at a distance to watch Grandpa set off some fireworks (me chatting with Jenny & Troy in the background)




Gigi love :) A really fun 4th of July! We let Genna stay up until it got a bit dark so she could watch fireworks all around the lake from the windows inside - she was thrilled!
The next day - big birthday girl is 6 in her new princess pjs!

off for a special bday day with Grandma at the butterfly exhibit!




they liked the smell of her hair detangler




She had a Brilliant time!! And a nice hot dog lunch afterwards - her favorite :)

They popped by dairy queen to pick out a cake too. She instructed the lady in the design she wanted - purple edges with a lovely rainbow & a butterfly. We skyped with Dadda to sing Happy Birthday and cut the cake, So exciting to share with Dadda that we forgot to take pictures opps! It was gorgeous and delicious though!!
