A Belated Birthday Post

Sweet little Penelope turned 3 years old on March 25th.  Between having company and then a craft show this Gramma never posted about her birthday.  Bad Gramma!

She had a pink birthday brunch on Saturday the 24th.   Her Aunt Natalie (Jacqi's sister) made her this wonderful birthday pancake pile...complete with berries & whipped cream! Yum!!




Pink balloons...a peek at the pink origami butterflies decorating the wall (her mommy made those) and a pile of presents just for Penelope. 


That evening Penelope got to play a little bit of Rock Band.  She is totally into the singing role!


My mom arrived the evening before the birthday brunch so Penelope had an extra-special guest to celebrate with.  My mom hadn't seen Penelope since she was about 3 months old.  You never would have known that. Penelope was in love with her great-grandma immediately.  I love this photo....can you see the happiness in my mom's eyes and the crinkle of Penelope's!!?  


Happy Belated Birthday to you...Miss Penelope!!
You are such a sweetie...I love you a bunch!!


 3rd ,4th & 7th photos were taken by Jacqi...the other four are mine.

Marie, Miss Penelope could not be any cuter! What an ANGEL face and I loved looking at her very special birthday party photos. Now that pile o'pancakes is making me quite hungry at this very moment. And I spy a hint of PINK in the mix?

Love you lots and thank you for your prayers....**hugs**

This was the most adorable post! I can't believe Penelope is 3 years old!!I can remember when she was born..the day after my daughter's birthday (wait-that didn't come out right-my daughter was 39 this year..not 3-LOL) The pictures are precious, especially that last one! Whose heart wouldn't be melted by that face?
