4th of July - fun, fun, fun

We had such a good time yesterday. We all slept in (of course for me that’s only until 7:30 am) and I thought the day was going to be horrible. I went to bed on Tuesday with a horrible headache and woke up on Wednesday morning with one as well. But, it eased off enough around 4pm that I could get a shower and get the gang ready to head to my Grandparents, Bob and Edie’s, house.

That was the first time that we’d all been together like that since Christmas. We had your typical cookout food (hamburgers, hot dogs, etc) and my mom had me order a key lime cake. Man, it was sooo goooooooood. Even Lauren ate well. Poor Meme’ had to pick up Faith’s plate off of the ground twice so she had her move to the ground and things went better from there. Speaking of that, we were so glad that Siv (Meme’) and Roger (Grandpa) could join us.

Faith and Lauren were less that thrilled with my decision to forgo watching fireworks. Due to my headache and the traffic, we opted out of going to see fireworks and ended up watching them on tv. I couldn’t believe the amount of people that were at Lenox Mall in Atlanta. It was wild! Lauren kept touching the tv, she said she was trying to touch them. Afterwards, I watched a few minutes of the Boston Pops 4th of July celebration. If and when I become independently wealthy, I really want to go see them perform. I bet they put on an amazing Christmas show.

We got home little before mid-night and off to bed we went. With Faith losing her 2nd tooth, we had to prepare for the Tooth Fairy (she actually lost it Tuesday but we forgot to put it under her pillow). She came right on schedule during the night so Faith is the proud recipient of $2 now.

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday as well!

And by the way, thanks to Grandpa, we will be getting the internet back at home. He told me about a great deal with AT&T and it’s one that we can afford. I just have to figure out what to give up to make it work. It should come in July 12th and I’ll install it from there.
