Happy Memorial Day!!

Happy Memorial Day, everyone!

We had a really nice weekend. On Sunday we hosted a BBQ. The weather was perfect, the girls were in good moods, the food was yummy and the company was excellent.
We had about 14 kids and 30 adults. Here are some pictures.

My American Flag Fruit Pizza, and Red and Blue Cupcakes...ok, the red are pink but I used 2 whole things of red food dye and it just wouldn't turn red!

Daddy and Sofia (chub chubs)

Ella and Su-Su/Su-Rick AKA:Susan, our awesome next door neighbor

Today. Memorial Day, our town had a little Memorial Day Parade, and when I say little, I mean little.

This is what it looked like when we arrived for it 10 minutes before it was supposed to start...can you hear the crickets?

Luckily, it got a little more crowded by the time the parade started but not much more.

Our gang (minus me)

The parade only lasted about 20 minutes and then we went to the town park for some fabulous music (sarcasm) and some speeches, etc...

Ella and Mia-I love that they put their arms around each other

Trying to pose with Mia and Ella...at least Mia gets it...Ella just shoves more food in. :)

Adorable Ben Ben. Ella used to be so obsessed with Ben when he was a baby, so much so she named her baby doll that she sleeps with every night, Baby Ben. Now that Ben isn't so little anymore, she wants nothing to do with him. She's crazy! Look at that face!

On our walk home, Ella tripped and skinned her knee. We had to go home and get her a band-aid, right away, as she is obsessed with band-aids.

She was so excited. When I told her to show her band-aid to Abuela and Gaga she got very excited.

Now both girls are napping and we're eating leftover food from the BBQ. What a great weekend.
