next year, we'll be celebrating baby's first independence day.
I thought a lot today about my independence days growing up. I remember wanting to wear a red, white and blue outfit every year. I'm pretty sure there were a few years where I even color-coordinated my socks. I remember making sugar cookies with my mom and my sister and decorating them in red, white and blue icing, then meticulously laying them into the pan to look like a flag. (and I remember the blue tongue I had from eating said icing during the decorating process.) I remember crown point parades and lots of candy and "I love a parade!" and fireworks at the fairgrounds.
I can't wait to start traditions with this little baby.
