Parades, Picnics, and Party Hats

We have been so busy lately that I declared last Saturday as "Family Fun Day." Ben has been working like crazy and left last Sunday morning for a four day work trip to Boston and New York so I wanted to have some family quality time before he left. Saturday morning we went to the annual Frisco Community Parade. The girls loved the parade, especially the marching bands. It was crazy windy but we still had a good time. I had planned to go to the park and have a picnic lunch after the parade but it was so windy that there was no way we could have set up a picnic outside. All of our things would have blown away. So, we set up camp in the back of my car and picnicked there. After lunch, the girls rode their trikes around the park and played for a while. Ben was in Boston on his birthday so my plan was to celebrate on Saturday but I ended up really putting this on the back burner and didn't plan anything! He begs me every year not to do presents and make a big deal of his bday but I usually make a cake at the very least. Major fail this year but luckily Stephanie came to the rescue!! Eddie was out of town so Stephanie, Brooklyn, and Chandler came over to watch the Razorback game with us. Stephanie rescued the day by bringing party hats and cupcakes to celebrate Ben's bday!! Here are some pics from our eventful day.

 Notice Ava in her Snow White dress. I think she has worn it every day since it came in the mail the week before Halloween.
