Fourth of July

My four granddaughters and their parents came to visit me this Fourth of July. Look at them in their matching dresses (courtesy of Mindee—thank you, Mindee!). I think they are just darling. Don't you?

From left to right: Annibelle, Hallie, and Emily. Then Jill is on Hallie's lap.

They are all within a year and a half of each other, so it is going to be fun to watch them grow up together! Hallie's mommy is pregnant right now too, so we're all on pins and needles to find out whether she will have a boy or a girl!!

While the babies had their photo shoot, the adults enjoyed many games of croquet. (Although if you ask Dad, it might be crochet, and if you ask Dan, it might be cricket.) *snicker*

Here is Annibelle saying, "No paparazzi please!!"

Emily is in that stage where she is . . . well . . . hungry. Hehe. She just has to put everything within in her mouth—she wants to taste everything. The world is her oyster, and she's gonna eat it dag gum it!

Unfortunately for Annibelle, the closest thing at that moment was Annibelle's elbow. Yum yum! What a tasty cousin. Err. I mean "treat." ;)

Of course, as the Grandma I do not encourage cannibalism, but I do have to take a picture first, because it's too darn cute!!

Me with my beautiful daughter, Amy!
