Cousins!
The girls were troopers. Alayna lasted almost the whole night, but then crashed out right before the fireworks...! MJ fell asleep early on but then woke up when the fireworks started, and I held her up on my shoulder to watch. She actually managed little tiny "ooh" sounds every once in a while after the big ones. Impressive for a four-month-old! I really didn't think she'd even notice! She probably thought it was like her Twinkle Turtle, on a grand scale!
