Even though you don't know what it means, "Say. . . .'I love America!'" Oh my poor little ones . . .for every picture I have taken for the past two days instead of saying, "Say Cheese," I've had them say, "I love America" or "red~white~blue." It may be just a little over board, but I have to admit that it has posed a lot of questions in their little inquisitive minds. I love age 4. . . Max has been asking all sorts of questions trying to figure out who this America is. "Who's America??" "Why do I love America?" "I'm not blue car ~ why can't I wear green??" "MOOOOOM! Can we please talk about America?" Got to love him! Decorating bikes, dressing in matching red~white~blue, cute Jacqualynn Grace shoes and bows (I love having a girl), Neighborhood parties, fireworks, freedom runs, parades, BBQ's all make the holiday fun and add a little something special. When the 4th of July rolls around I just feel such an extra sense of gratitude for our country and all the sacrifices people have made today, yesterday, and the sacrifices in the future for us to live in this land . . . . I'm pretty sure that the 4th of July is all about a big party and fireworks for my little ones. They don't quite understand what it means to live in this amazing county and have the freedom to do whatever we choose. That is one of my favorite parts. .. .to live any way we choose. . . because we do have a choice. Freedom Rings and I love it! I think it's my new favorite holiday. . . .that is until Halloween. :)
