hOLIdAY weeKeNDS!!!

Yesterday was so much fun!!! The parade was awesome!!! LOve LOVE LOVE THAT picture above of maxx wavin his flag...he did it with his whole heart...







Most of the kids showed up for the festivities



Robbie and Xander...


sweets at the parade...



and even bettie joined us, too...although with the gunfire we were a bit concerned how she would react..but she was fine!!!
Katie and Jason were there with baby Logan!!! too





Each and every year...Shannon, Kevin and the kid(s) pose by the West Allis sign...
it has become a tradition to see how the kids have grown...and actually they started when Maddy was a baby...then Maxx was added...but daddy was gone to Iraq...and this year daddy had to work...



Some of the groups fired off rounds and the noise got a bit much for maxx...

He started by covering his ears...



Then realized Robbie could cover them for him..so he could still wave at the passing celebration...



But the noise was still too much..so doubled up the noise buffers!



It's a very short parade...maybe at best 1/2 hour...although we arrive early for our usual seats...

The party continued when we got home...with eats and treats...
...even Maddy's doll Meegan went to the parade...(as you can see they coordinated their outfits...)



...and Maxx planted his little flag into the garden right by Elliot...the cat...


Here's hoping that everyone remembered those that are serving and have served...this great country that we live in...

HUGZ TIL NEXT TIME...
