Baby's First Sparkler

I remember being afraid to hold sparklers when I was a kid.  But Scarlett was pretty thrilled with them.

There were other firsts!  Like, Ramona's first July 4 as a big sister!

A first combined tree-climb for Scarlett and Lucy.  They played butterfly and frog.  At one point, I thought Scarlett was still up in the tree but she had climbed down and gone inside the house.

A first July 4 for Charlie and Theo, who are somehow both tiny and big at the same time and almost six months old.

At the end, we cuddled under blankets and the guys played like little kids, setting off explosives.  That is nothing new.
