Happy 4th!

Having a baby who doesn't stay up very late and who definitely doesn't stay up late enough for fireworks, we decided to light a few fireworks on our own in the middle of the day.  Our other reason for this was that Jaden doesn't deal well with unexpected things (like playing in fountains that randomly shoot off water - he got really upset when some water unexpectedly shot up and drenched his hair).  So we decided to just do little fireworks that wouldn't scare him too much.

Daddy lit the fuses:

Surprisingly, Jaden handled it all really well!  We didn't have too many fireworks, and mostly cheap flowers at that, but it was fun all the same!

Happy 4th of July from the cutie with the messy face!
