Fourth of July

New Album 7/5/09 11:01 AM

This year we had a wonderful day and evening! On Thursday night we did a few fireworks with Mallory and our neighbors not knowing if we would get any time with her on the Fourth since it is her Dad's birthday. We had a great time and Mick never woke up, he is such a good sleeper at night!

On Saturday we (Chris, Mick, and I) took it easy most of the day just enjoying our time together. We got Mallory back around 5 and got ready to head out to Andover for a big 4th party hosted by my friends the Gee's. We arrived around 7 and there were 5 or 6 tables full of yummy food and the fireworks had already begun. It was great fun catching up with friends that I hadn't seen in several years as well as tons of fun for the kids (beads, glow sticks, flags, hats), Mallory was running all around screaming with the kids and having a great time. The fireworks continued until 11:15 and boy were they good ones, I have never seen such great neighborhood fireworks. The night ended with the official burning of the Christmas tree, I guess a tradition that was started years ago with Mitch and Teri's actual Christmas tree saved just for this big event, and everyone singing jingle bells. We got in the car around 11:20 and Mick was tired and Mallory kept saying it was the best party she had ever been to. Hope everyone else had as fun of a Fourth of July as we did.
