Fireworks.

We had a great Fourth of July week.  Caden liked the fireworks a lot.  He was really apprehensive that some might be noisy.  We went to Jaime and Brian's on the 3rd, and he kept telling everyone "Too noise for me ears", and would cover his ears.  Then he wanted Grandma to cover his ears for him :).  He loved the parachutes, and we'd only bought a few.  He was sad we didn't have more.  So Grandad snuck off and went and bought him some more.  They love him so and spoil him rotten.  He is a blessed little kiddo :). We didn't stay too late when all the big loud stuff came out, but we saw plenty and he had a great time.

 

On the Fourth we wanted to be home so he could enjoy the 'little' fireworks and be more involved in the day, rather than worrying about him sticking close to us and away from all the fireworks action :). Our street is always really quiet. It was great. Mom and Dad, Allie and Bryan, and Liz all stopped by since they didn't have plans. At the last minute that day Caden and I decided to make it a Fourth of July party :). He was so excited about it all. "Do fireworks 'nother day." Yes, honey, like in a year. So sweet.
