WHERE HAVE THE LAST 11 YEARS GONE?

This weekend we spent celebrating Big Sister's 11th birthday, and even though it is not her real birthday yet, I still can not believe it has been 11 years since I first held her tiny perfectness in my arms.  She wanted a 4th of July party, so we came to Ellijay to spend the weekend.  She and Little Sister made cupcakes.

Nana and Papa came to her party and she opened some of her presents, the rest will be saved for her real birthday.


After eating cupcakes we headed to downtown and set up to watch the parade.


The parade was very fun and we all loved celebrating our freedom.


After the parade we had 2 hours to pass before fireworks started, so our entertainer, Little Sister, got busy doing what she does best.  We were all a part of her show at one time or another.


And the the grand finale
an excellent fireworks show.


We all had a great day celebrating our Country and our Girl.
