Happy Birthday America!

 Yup, sassy little Ms. Independent right there.

These poses were all her idea...as was the USA headband 

(that she picked out a few months ago- lol!)

 

We went to the Carlins' annual bash.  The guys went all out this year on fireworks (spending over $1K); some of which were confiscated by the sheriff. :(  That was okay; Sylvie didn't nap today and was passed out on my shoulder in the middle of the show. ha!
