Baby you're a firework!

Last night we had planned to go to the New London fireworks, but Ella had gotten invited to Ava's birthday party which lead to our whole family being invited. The neighbor does a huge fireworks display every year. It was a lot of fun. The kids got to play and even Andy enjoyed himself. The huge bonus was that we didn't have to get stuck in traffic. I love impromptu events like that. Ella was home for a few hours and ended up sleeping over Ava's house. We can't even hang onto her on her birthday! I love that she has made so many good friends and was having a good time though. I'm going to go get the three of them and then Carina is getting dropped off her at 12 for Ella's birthday party today. It should be a fun filled couple of days. Too bad I still need to tweak two papers by tomorrow. Ugh.
