penny is 6…part one
I LOVE celebrating my kids’ birthdays!
So last Friday, we took out the ceremonial cupcake…
brought out the birthday banner…
hung the “birthday dots”…
made a tasty cake with raspberries and chocolate buttercream…
skipped school and made a big breakfast feast, ’cause it’s not everyday that visiting cousins are in town for a birthday…(I love how Penelope is the only one illuminated in this shot!)
opened gifts…(“cha-ching”, says Penny)
took the obligatory “front steps photo”…
after a fun day with cousins, had a family birthday dinner featuring Penny’s favorite Penne Pasta…
another group photo with Nana and Papa…
AND finally, we ate cake!
I’ll be back tomorrow to share more birthday highlights- the poor birthday girl has been really sick these past few days and I need to tend to her!
