Grace has successfully made it through her first national holiday! The weather was perfect; not too hot and a little overcast so the sun wasn't beating down on us! We ventured into Vienna (the town where I grew up and am still in love with!)to the annual 4th of July celebration at the community center. Over the years my family has made it a tradition to go to the fair and enjoy the music, food, and numerous craft stands. I wanted Grace to apart of that this year. We got there early and staked out a perfect picnic table under a huge tree, close to the food (yipee) and the Jimmy Buffet cover band (yipee for David!).
I know, David has decided to grow his beard back. It's growing on me! Here are Gracie and Daddy hangin' out at the table. I'm not sure why he looks so angry but I assure you he isn't!
We stayed at the festival for several hours and enjoyed hanging out with my parents and my sister. Grace loves to be around her family and was very happy (and awake) for most of the day.

Eventually, the fun had to come to an end. But before that, Mom Mom took Gracie shopping and bought her that adorable headband/bow accessory (see below)! I think she looks so cute and don't worry, the bow is detachable and we have numerous other colors.
Once we got home we had to change Gracie into her other outfit (thanks Stack, Ellen, and Donna!) and her new bow. We got Gracie all ready to go, and then it started raining. So, she wore the outfit around the house and she didn't mind being all dressed up with no place to go! Around 9 the skies began to clear and we took Gracie out to watch the fireworks from our front porch. Dave and I were just happy to be together with our baby. Gracie first 4th of July went off without a hitch!
