She looked forward to the 4th of July every year, because that meant a big family get together. Even though she rarely watched the fireworks, she was still there taking care of one of the little ones who didn't like the fireworks as much and would take them inside. It just made her day when the 4th was near. She would start baking days before hand. There was always so much food and she was known for her baking skills. All the family would look forward to her pepperoni rolls every year.
