WELCOME!

This blog shares the happenings of Chris, Lacey and Reese O'Donnell. We didn't used to have that much to say about ourselves which is why posts were few and far between, but now we have a little person that will give us a lot to talk about. The blog will also feature Lacey's Random Finds - event planning, paper love, pretty crafty things, etc.


ENJOY!

Happy 4th of July!

The 4th of July is our FAVORITE holiday!!! Well, Lacey's and so probably Reese's too. Chris?

Seriously. I love it more than Christmas. This year did not disappoint!

We started the day with one of our favorite little traditions - the Fairfax City parade. Local politicians, Peruvian dance troupes, dc urban high school bands and dancers, and librarians with choreographed book cart routines. What's not to love?

We were all decked out in our patriotic best. Please note that the stroller is also decorated. Just wait until she fits in a wagon. Oh the joy!



One of Reese's new things is to twist her wrist. So we put a flag in her hand and she waved it without realizing. Classic.


After the parde, we bought hot dogs from the Lions Club (naturally!) and went home to prep (read: outfit change) for more fun. We spent the afternoon and evening with some of our favorite friends and the Rogers/Oliver Housewarming party. Reese was awesome and just played and visited all day. We headed home late and pulled into Fairfax just as the fireworks were about to start. We got a great lawn seat and enjoyed the end to a perfect day.
