This year we celebrated a first fourth of july for both Elsie and Mark – we started out the day with a bang (and some spit up on our new outfit from Grammie).

Little Firecracker

Our neighbors put on a big to do in our local circle – putting up tents, getting a keg of beer and purchasing lots of contraband fireworks for a HUGE display.

Chris and Saira were in town for the festivities and Elsie got to meet Roan. Roan loves balls so he was pretty stoked to find a stars and stripes beach ball to kick around.

We introduced the Mora-sastry’s to Corn Hole!

Our neighborhood had a parade … we decorated our “non-motorized vehicles” and strutted our stuff

After so much activity our little fire cracker decided to call it a night! Happy fourth of July!
