It has become a tradition for our house to host the July 4th Festivities. We love having both of our families over for a good ol' BBQ and, of course, fireworks. This year, in addition to Chris's and my parents, we also had Chris's Aunt and Uncle over. They were in town visiting from Cali and couldn't get over all the fireworks our neighbors were lighting off. Their home city doesn't allow fireworks, so it was special for them to join us.
While waiting for it to get dark, Leila employed much of the family as babysitters. Grandad, Uncle Ken, Papa and Aunt Chris.
Finally it was time. Leila is hearing all about sparklers here from Papa.
I can do this, Dad!
She was so excited with herself...then she touched the top part of the sparkler after it finished. Well, it was still hot. Poor kiddo! She burnt her two fingers a little bit. Leila watched the rest from the porch.

Looking forward to next year!
