4th Celebrations

One evening after looking at my sisters belly, I decided that I wanted to paint a flag on it. And she was nice enough to let me.

Enjoying the town parade. It's so nice of our friends to host a BBQ at their house. Plus they live on the street that the parade marches down. It was raining - but because they have a huge tree in their front yard we kept pretty dry.
I love the 4th of July and celebrating with family and friends.
