y'all. i PROMISE i didn't plan to match my animal...and didn't realize it until DD pointed it out.
does that mean i've officially turned into a "dog lady?" eff.
nugget and i had a low key 4th of july which was fine with me.
v was in cape cod with is people (sadly i couldn't attend this year) and i spent the 4th with "the ropers" (kristan and doug) for brunch @ sarabeths,
then stellie had a playdate with her new best friend, lyla- laura osnes's new nugget (we're not sure what she is... definitely chihuahua & german shepherd? dunno..)
even the girls have matching sailor wear.(which, for the record, i think is strange. dogs are animals. not people. they don't need to wear clothes...but we were giving lyla some hand-me-downs and found that they have matching outfits so stellie happily donned her sailor-suit... holy crap... i've just put the most eternal justification for dressing my dog in a dress. obviously, i'm a freaky dog person with blatant guilt. ugh)
stellie was really sweet with miss ly and little girl quickly learned how to fight back. that baby has some moxie!
then DD and i made homemade strawberry ice cream (a hill family 4th of july tradition)&watched the fireworks from the 43rd floor.....
could have watched from the convenience of my air conditioned apt, but that just didn't feel festive.
wasn't the firework show grand?do you have any fun independence day traditions?

Very New York...Ours much more low key. Being a dog lady isn't all bad.
No 4th of July traditions but I did declare yesterday Decadence Day for myself.
Yes! Its my birthday, for which I will always be grateful to my mom. This year my daughter got married on the 4th, so now we'll have an anniversary, fireworks, and birthday celebrations on the 4th. Yes I like that day. Her husband's friends teased him mercilessly for getting married on Independence Day.....
That ice cream looks so yummy!
so cute!
I love your blog! I have been following it for some time now and figured its about time I leave a comment. I dont think there is anything more adorable then dressing up your favorite pup. I dress up my big rottweiler/hound mix in silly costumes all the time.
My favorite family traditions for the fourth are Freedom Days Parade in Provo, bbq & slip n' slide & homemade ice cream, then Stadium of Fire! These traditions have been going on since before i was born!
I was in Newport Beach on Balboa Island with the boyfriend. We sat outside his house with a view of the harbor fireworks show at the end of our street. It was gorgeous, although, only the size of ONE of these in your photos! I miss the NYC spectacle. Amazing! That whipped cream and strawberries dish looks divine too.
