But the party didn’t end there—the movie was followed by fireworks, singing and snacks. The kids went wild when we lit over 30 fireworks (not your little back-yard variety) and they exploded into the air. They were singing and doing cartwheels and just so filled with joy. What a wonderful gift to give—the gift of joy!” </span></em></p>
