Happy Fourth!

TBT: Yankee

(sidenote: this was supposed to have been posted yesterday but iphone blogger was slow AF)

I'm I don't think I've ever done a TBT on blogger. If you follow me on insta, you know I participate aggressively on that outlet but I just had a hankering to share some old photos of Mr Yankee for any new readers that may be curious...or old readers who miss him as much as me! Enjoy a brief photographic history of some of my favorite moments from the last 10 years!
