Happy Birthday Paw Paw Ace!

Ella, Mary Catherine and I made our first long journey together - we went to Byron to see Paw Paw Ace and Mimi. It is about a 3.5 - 4 hour drive from our house. We stopped at Annett and Marvin's on our way over there. That was a wonderful break for us. All in all, we had a pretty good drive.
Once we got there, Katie and Pearce were there. It was wonderful to have all of the grandbabies together. We ate hot dogs and hamburgers. Ella really enjoyed singing Happy Birthday to PawPaw and helping him blow out his candles.

One of my favorite moments of the trip was listening to PawPaw and Ella play. They had their purses and had a pretend car in front of the refrigerator. They buckled and unbuckled their seat belts and they traveled to K-Mart, Bi-Lo and McDonald's. What a joy to see how much Ella loves to play with PawPaw.

Here is a video that Ella made for PawPaw for his birthday.
