Today is July 4th. We are so thankful for the liberties and freedoms we enjoy. This morning we're going to the Ward breakfast this morning at Anderson Park, probably the beach this afternoon, followed by fireworks at El Segundo.
We have already had lots of fun this weekend. On Friday night we decided celebrate Maddy's 12th birthday because we will be out of town on her real birthday in a few weeks. She had a slumber party with several of her friends. We ate at El Tarasco, then the girls made fun picture frames, before watching a movie and staying up way too late. The next morning we all had a fun breakfast of crepes, fruit, and whip cream. She opened her big present and was thrilled to get a new beach cruiser. That was followed by a fun time at the beach and playing in the water.
Two weeks ago me and Maddy went to Las Vegas for the weekend while Jill and Mckay were in Washington D.C. and New York. We hooked up with Alana and Josh and had a really fun weekend. We went to the M&M store, went swimming in the hotel's lazy river, at dinner at the Venetian, and saw the play Phantom of the Opera. Good times!!!
