I chose to have Penny's bday gathering on a day other than her birth, because I wanted to enjoy her real day and not have to worry about crafts and beyond...boy was I smart in doing that. It's safe to say every waking moment on party day was spent hot gluing, tying, stamping, or sewing and that's just what I had Glen doing. Whatever!!! Glen got it pretty darn easy for this one. Listen, it's all about the details, and the truth of the matter is, I love doing it! It was such a special time for me to be crafting things for OUR child at long last.
We had an open house at the lovely Dear Lizzie for both sides of the family. Penny was quite pensive the whole time, and due to her allergy to milk the cake feasting was quite somber, but we got some great pictures!!

Cake Time
from pep talks to consoling
I think it's quite apparent how much this girl is the highlight of our lives. I couldn't have dreamed a better life to be living!
xoxoxxo my sweet Penny Mae!
