4th of July Parade and Party

After our fun family evening, we woke up on the 4th and headed to the Arlington 4th of July Parade. Meredith loved the horses and would drum on her belly every time a high school band would pass by. She decided that she needed Santa to bring her a tiny 18-wheel truck that one boy rode past in. I guess I didn't react as positively as she hoped, so she followed up the request for herself with "Baby Jillian would love that truck." Smart girl, huh?

Meredith loved waving at the floats that went by - and would get so excited when they would wave back!

Neal tried to teach her the Arlington Colts hand sign so she could get ready for high school.

After the parade, Gigi and Papa opened up their house for a Sunday School party. The kids of course loved both pools, the hot dogs, and some great desserts!
