The 4th of July!

The 4th of July or Independence Day 

should be a special day for all Americans to celebrate,

but to us it means even more.

My grandfather-in-law was born on July 1st and he 

is a Veteran. I have never met anyone who loves America more.

So, we celebrate his birthday each year on Independence day.

This year I made:

the traditional apple pie,

his favorite birthday cake,

cupcakes for the children- (I found the idea on Pinterest),

and red, white and blue chocolate dipped strawberries,

also found on Pinterest. 

For decorations-

(and I love decorations)

I had flags, balloons, twinkle lights, and banners! 

This year Pop-Pop got the chance to celebrate his birthday

with my new little niece!

Her birthday is July 1st too!

Pop- Pop played Southern tunes and American favorites,

on the guitar and lead all of us in song!

I believe he felt special.

I love him so dearly!
