A whole lotta pictures - 4th of July weekend

First, girls weekend with Mimi! Mimi did Macie's nails and took her to the Aveda salon for her first professional haircut!
Macie was on her best behavior.
Macie doesn't cooperate this well with me.... but for Ms. Marcie the stylist, she was an angel.
And a cute little bob...with stacked back. But still, Macie insisted on wearing her headband.

Next, Crampa's 60th birthday celebration which happened to coincide with the 4th of July holiday. Macie and Luke were always together, and SUPER cute companions.
My dad looks great, doesn't he? Hardly looks a day over 59!
Dad and Uncle Sal grilling...
And then later, a talent show. Uncle Sal, Jay and Livi doing a choreographed dance.
Macie sang the Strawberry Shortcakc song. Loving the attention of a crowd.
Luke is so CUTE. He sang the alphabet song.
After the "Get Rich Quick Game" we did s'mores. I ate two. Eating for two of course!
Every morning began with "boot camp" led by Uncle Sal. We all got visors that said "Farkle Boot Camp" and did our stretches, exercises and a brief jog.
We took a trip to the stables to give the horses some love. Here is Rebel.
Macie loves Rebel from a distance.
Macie took this picture of me in the back seat of the car.
Mark, Gina, Dad, and me.
Macie and Luke... partners in crime.
And they just couldn't wait until it was time to cut the cake!
Next morning...time for a family tradition. Hoiken Doinkens! Hoinken Doinkens can be any kind of breakfast really, except there is always a number under the plate which earns a prize.

Here, Crampa is saying "who wants a Hoinken Doinken?!?" And everyone show's that their mouths are OPEN!
Here is Macie's fancy Hoinken Doinken!
Next stop, Damien and Dawns house. The boys fixed dinner while Dawn and I indulged on my favorite - THE BACHELORETTE!!!
And since they cooked, we cleaned.
