Kade's first fourth of July was something you might see in a movie. It involved breakfast, a carnival, face painting, balloons and cotton candy. Throw in fireworks, family, friends and lots of barbequing and you have a Picture Perfect Fourth. The fourth of July is by far my favorite holiday. The energy of the day- the pure essence of summer- awakens all of my senses and jolts my nerves. I can't contain my excitement at seven o'clock in the morning when the pink clouds are on the horizon and the excitement of The Day is at my doorstep. I jumped out of bed and straight on to the computer, looking up parade times and carnival locations. Kade decided he wanted to sleep in. I was like a little kid on Christmas begging pllleeeaase wake up! But the boys slept. When they had finally stretched and yawned themselves out of bed we set off on our fourth of July adventure. And it was without a doubt, my most memorable yet.
Breakfast at Dennys- mommy and daddy got in on the face painting too!Kade got his face painted at the carnival. He held so still.
The fourth of July just wouldn't be without cotton candy, and lots of it. 
Kade is an animal lover. We really need to move in to a place where he can have a pet.
Driving the car to the carnival.
Our friends are visiting from California! Kade and Boston are only three days apart. 
Kade makes this "scrunch face" now. It's adorable. 
Apparently, grass is really funny.
Kade and Kelli Ray Yes, it was fantastic.
I found your blog a while back from BBC, but I just want to say he is just the cutest thing! Your 4th looked amazing.
