As a kid, whenever anybody would ask me what my favorite holiday was, the answer was obviously Christmas. After all, what kid doesn’t like Christmas? Free toys, lots of candy stuffed into clothing designed for feet, and did I mention free toys?
Now that I’m a bit older, I still love Christmas (I think it’s the free toys thing), but I’ve developed a deep appreciation for other holidays. Thanksgiving is awesome but the Fourth of July holds a special place in my heart. There’s something about seeing an American flag flying as a wing of F-16s fly overhead that makes me extremely grateful to live in this wonderful country. Add to the the fact that we’ve developed some really fun family traditions, and you have a day that we all look forward to each year.

I love the Fourth of July. It’s the best holiday ever. Even better than Columbus Day. Why you ask? Because it’s the birthday of the greatest nation on the face of the planet. Probably even greater than nations on other planets. Take that rest of the world!
As many, if not most of you know, we recently moved from Kaysville where we had spent the last seven years. Today is a huge day in Kaysville. They have all sorts of festivities including an amazing parade that the entire city shows up to support and some great fireworks. (Not at the same time. Fireworks in the middle of the day aren’t very spectacular.) During our time there, we established some traditions and said traditions have not stopped with us moving to Syracuse.
