Penelope Turns 3!!

This little lady has been working on her #3 fingers in preparation for this day - she got it down just in time for her birthday! The thumb is the tricky part, and she takes it very seriously...

We woke her up with a birthday doughnut to start off her birthday.

And a present from Grandma May - Pumpkin, the Palace Pet that she has been asking for for months.

And then as is our tradition, she got to pick the food for her birthday. She chose McDonalds. Surprise! Mema met us for lunch and gave Penelope a few presents. It is so rewarding to watch Penelope open presents - she LOVES them and says thank you all on her own. As an example, this is a box of Doc Mc Stuffins fruit snacks that she is hugging. :)

Then we went to Outback for dinner - Penelope didn't suggest this one, technically, but she mainly only knows Cafe Rio and McDonalds so we wanted to change it up  bit.

We love this sassy girl - she is smart, loving and opinionated. She definitely fights to be heard over her siblings and she succeeds most of the time too. She loves being a "Big Sista" and helps me take care of Henry while "her kids" are at school. Happy Birthday Penelope!
