Happy Birthday America!
We had alot of fun celebraitng Fourth of July with Rose. We sang many patriotic songs as she played her instruments and waved her flags. Rose also helped cut out and decorate star cookies. She thinks every cake or cookie needs a candle so she can blow it, so of course we lit (and relit) a candle and sang "Happy Birthday to America" (about 6 times)! That evening we went over to Rose's little boyfriend, Avery's house for a cookout and to watch fireworks. Some small fireworks are legal in FL, however most of the ones that we saw set off in the neighborhood were NOT legal but were very beautiful. Rose loved the fireworks but was not fond of the pop, pop, pop, so she put her fingers in her ears.
