Daddy's Big Day

It was Daddy's birthday...

and we took him to a parade that the town of Cottleville threw in his honor:

Daddy and Claire snagged some prime real estate


Reagan showed off her Irish colors

Our former neighbor and Logan's future bride (at least, that's what they've been saying for as long as they can remember....which is going on 2 whole years now!)


Waiting for the festivities to start...


The happy couple

When is it gonna start already?? Is it time yet? Is it time yet??


You wouldn't know we were smack dab in the middle of the suburbs! This looks more like my home town than St. Charles county!

Claire loves her backpack lookout. Thank God. Otherwise we'd be chasing her around everywhere!

Hey baby.

Claire scoping out Daddy's beer and wondering if it's legit. It was, Claire. It was exactly 12:03 p.m!



Reagan's baby brother Louis appears unimpressed.


This was kind of a cool float.

Hey, look what's coming!

Mrs. America! Woooo hooooo

Reagan's other brother Cooper looks like he's telling Ronald McDonald to back off! I don't blame him - clowns are totally creepy.

Logan is making friends with the Hamburglar.

And later on, Logan and I made a cake for Daddy, who turned 43!

Skip is tired. He's a little old to be staying up this late.

Happy Birthday, Daddy!! We love you!
