The Fourth of July is one of our favorite holidays, so I decided to surprise Katherine by decorating her walker for today’s festivities.

She was very excited.  When I explained that today is America’s birthday and we are going to celebrate, she exclaimed, “Oh, yay!  A birthday party for America!”

Then she discovered her flag balloon…

After playing with her balloon for a few moments, she sat down next to Dave and said, “I want to hold Daddy.”

And, just when I thought my heart couldn’t possibly melt any more, it exploded when she gave Dave her new balloon.

Happy Fourth of July!
