In my family, The Fourth of July holiday is pretty much next to Christmas when it comes to getting together to celebrate. This year was extra special because my daughter was able to meet her Great Grandparents! She pretty much fell in love with them from the start. She fell especially hard for my Grandpa.

Our family get-togethers are pretty much the best! It was such a gorgeous Minnesota summer day, filled with love, laughter, and lots of fun memories. Our family tradition is to have a big BBQ, play games outside, and then walk to see the Lakeville, Minnesota fireworks display. Here are some of my favorite moments of the day.
