We are soo proud to be an American family living with such freedoms and blessings. This weekend was all about sharing and celebrating. It began Tuesday night with Connor and I making "star" cookies. I am pleased to announce Connor can do almost every step of cookie making except the oven!! He dumped ingredients, mixed, rolled, patted, and cut which is usually his regular routine. This time I let him try the spatula!!! He loved scooping them up and sliding them off -and I must say he did a mighty fine job. They all still looked like stars!!
Friday morning we were up and headed to the zoo. Both sets of grandparents have not been to the zoo with Connor in...well...too long. It was a little warm and some of the animals-polar bears- were not out and it did make it a little dissappointing. But Connor has fun at the zoo everytime we go no matter what!
Friday night we grilled out and ate a third of July feast!! There was a kiddie table this time and Connor was taught his first table manners game of "piggies" I do believe Laura struggled in this game...it may have been her first time too.
Grandparents came in Thursday night...both sets!I don't this this has happened it such a long time!! Brad had church softball games so we all ( Connor, Grandpa, Grandmomma, D and Laura)went to eat Mexican and then back home to "play" a little. Connor bounced from person to person. Fully soo excited and overwhelmed to have soo much attention!

Connor LOVED the homemade ice cream but mainly the strawberries in it!!!
