Our 4th of July Weekend

Our 4th of July weekend started off with me turning the big 3-0!!! I took off on Thursday and Louis worked a half day (while the kids went to daycare). After I got my workout and mani/pedi in Louis and I headed to Lake Geneva. We went to lunch at Gordys and then sat outside for a drink at Pier 290. It was the perfect relaxing afternoon. My parents picked the kids up from school. When we got home I had a surprise waiting for me: Melanie and Maddie!!! Louis coordinated with her to have them come out and visit. It was so nice to see them.

We took the kids to the fireworks on Thursday night (my parents stayed and watched Brooke). Both kids had a lot of fun. Although the glo-necklaces that I brought weren't the best so next year I know better and will upgrade!! 

On Saturday night my parents and Louis' parents watched Blake, Brooke and Maddie (thanks again!!) so that we could all go out to dinner to celebrate my birthday. It was Louis, Me, Melanie, Katie, Eric, Colleen, James, Matt and Mary. We had such a fun time. The girls sat on one side of the table and the boys on the other. I don't think I have laughed that hard in a long time. :)
