4th Birthday Party: Part I

We had Ella's first 4th birthday party today; the second will come next week at our house. Grandpa grilled burgers, hotdogs, and an eggplant, and Grandma made potato salad without celery and boiled some corn on the cob. "Guys, I didn't have my birthday yet because I didn't have my cupcake. Then I will have my birthday and be 4."

Daniel found a corn-on-the-cob* pacifier, and spent most of the party moving the wheelbarrow in and out of the house. 

*He carried it around for several hours after, dropping it, and switching hands to the hand that held Grady's black-slime-covered football. We're thinking it felt good on a few tender back teeth.
