After all, this is one of our major holidays! <br /><br />Looks like you guys celebrated the Fourth in great style this year!!

I've never been a fan of buying fireworks or sparklers for use at home. But I see nothing wrong with the professional fireworks, which everyone can go see at certain locations. Those are usually safe. <br /><br />Here in Miami, we Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-76113603238451897402016-07-09T17:49:31.937-04:002016-07-09T17:49:31.937-04:00Hi, Stephanie!

I do this with the Christmas holiday, less so with other holidays. But I really should start doing that to celebrate the 4th of July! This is a major American holiday, after all.<br /><br />Your family celebration sounds is typical of the way most of us celebrate. LOVE it!!

We've been here since March, 2015, and haven't heard any fireworks go off within the complex itself. (There are several such complexes around us, too.) So I think there must be a rule against doing that.

Preparing this giveaway is part of my holiday celebration, and I'm also preparing a blog tour for Tuesday, which is also related to the Fourth of July. It, too, has a giveaway.<br /><br />Later today, hubby and I are going out for a special dinner at a nice restaurant, and then we're off to watch fireworks!
