How many mom’s would let their kids do this? ONLY OURS! For fourth of July my family was actually in CT! For the past 10 years my family has celebrated the 4th of July at Lake Tahoe with extended family, parades, BBQs, fireworks on the lake, etc.

Due to the rigorous schedule of cancer treatments, my family stayed home this 4th of July and got to celebrate it with our whole city up at Waveny Mansion. But of course what is the fourth of July without a little decorating? We have the coolest mom ever! (and p.s.—mom, is that hair I see growing on your head? I think it is!)

I love the painted fingernails too!
