Little Miss Firecracker

We celebrated June's 1st birthday over the long July 4th weekend.  We had lots of family come into town and lots of fun, food, and hanging out.

Anyone who knows June well knows that these pictures of her walking are absolutely perfect because they truly capture her "spirit" with the dirty knees and behind and a huge grin on her face.  That's our girl!

The guys decided to golf on Saturday morning and so the girls and the kids were looking for something fun to do.

The boys wanted to show off their bike riding skills to their cousins and so we made a quick trip over to the park. 

Next stop was a lunch date at Chick-fil-a with Bop's for dessert.  Yum!!

After we made it back home, Gigi took the kiddies outside for a little "stained glass" artwork,

And then told some walk, walk stories. 

It's showtime!

"Here Daddy!  You try a bite."

Clay turned 25 over the weekend so he got in on the birthday action too!

Present time!

After we got all the little ones settled into bed, the adults took on "Just Dance 2."  Check out Jabo's moves.  :)

And finally we ended the weekend with mass on Sunday before everyone hit the road.  

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all of our wonderful family that made the trip for our girl's birthday party.  It really means more to me and Dan than we can even express to have such a close-knit and loving family who is always willing to drive the miles to celebrate with us and our kids.  We really do have the greatest family!
