Penelope is Five!

Somebody special is five years old today.
This somebody is very fond of pink!
Happy Birthday to Penelope!!!


A few weeks ago she came to our house for dinner and an evening of crafting.  
She has been wanting to make colored clay "forever"!  We took some white modeling clay and added a bit of acrylic paint to it.  Then Penelope kneaded and stretched until she worked the color through the whole piece of clay.  



Then it was time to create...decisions, decisions!  She finally decided to make a little something for each of her family members, plus Gramma and Grampa.


Look at all the pretty colors we made!


Here's what she ended up with....with a little help from me.  
A green lollipop for Daddy, and a pink one for Penelope. Fletcher gets a sailboat, and Mommy gets a flower. I love the sun she gave to me, and Grampa loves the funny face lollipop for him.
I helped her make the caterpillar, which she decided was for her "whole family"!  She decided that I need to add a magnet to each one because "they will look so cool on refrigerators"!


Penelope had one of her favorite foods for dinner...NOODLES!  
She loves noodles...she said, that "they are my very favorite thing"!


Well, maybe they're her very favorite food....but this little guy is her VERY Favorite!! 
Such a good big sister!


Have a Happy Day Sweet Penelope!
I'm looking forward to your birthday party on Sunday!!
