For Josias’s 1st Independence day, my Mom and I took 
him shopping at Chandler mall and she got him the most adorable outfit to celebrate the day in. Unfortunately he slept most the day. In the late afternoon, we went to Opa’s house to swim and eat. While we were waiting for Josias to wake up, Mom held miss Greta in her special 4th outfit. One of the best parts of the day was tons of rain! Check out the wonderful temperature. Yes, it was less than 80 degrees!!!
Before we ate, Dad had all the adults read the declaration of Independence and sign our names next to those who stood before us.
I couldn’t resist putting a few pictures of the sleeping boy with his lovey.
Josias finally entered the land of the awake to take a picture with his cousin miss Greta & Oma.
We finished up the night with our own private fireworks show put on by Opa. Josias didn’t quite know what to think of the loud noises and bright lights of backyard fireworks. He didn’t cry, which was quite nice.
