Three Years Old. Elle is such a sweetheart, and so smart! She can speak so well, knows lots of words and nuances of English. She loves her characters and her colors. Ever since Emmett’s birthday in August she’s been looking forward to her birthday, asking us about it all the time, telling us what presents she was going to get. For a long while it was going to be a pink drum, but later she changed it to a pink guitar.
We celebrated with a big family party tonight and served a proper BBQ meal with 3 kinds of meats, funeral potatoes, salad, carrots, and a lot of BBQ sauce. It was so good! This was my first attempt at brisket and I am quite happy with how it turned out. I will definitely be doing one again soon! Now that it’s been done, I’m not so scared. But, enough about smoking…
