Yes, I'm that mom. The mom that dresses her kiddos in red, white & blue for the 4th of July. With the exception of the first two years, I've staged quite the photo shoot. Here are some snippets of each July 4th photo shoot from the past seven years.
July 2010
McKinley & I were in Memphis visiting my brother and Shannon before he was deployed to Liberia. This was McKinley's first trip in an airplane.
July 2011
No red, white & blue here, just a floppy hat. McKinley is standing next to our newly-potted hydrangeas.
July 2012
Here's where I decided to take it to the next level. Coordinating outfits and hand-made lavender crowns. And you can't forget the God Bless America pillow.
July 2013
A sailor outfit and denim....it doesn't get any more American that that! Thought it would be cool to spell out U.S.A. but unfortunately I didn't have an 'A'.
Yeeeehawww....Go Navy, Beat Army!
July 2014
In our new house, the beautiful hydrangeas make an excellent backdrop.
Tessa's expression and the way she is holding her flag makes my heart melt.
Piper was in a make-a-funny-face-or-stick-out-your-tounge phase and McKinley's hair was in its mullet stage.
July 2015
These dresses are too cute and were a gift from Gramma C. She even sent us the red, white & blue decorations.
Tessa's over it!
July 2016
This year was all about the flower power.
