Penny's 2nd Birthday

We had such a great day celebrating Penny's big 0-2. We started with a Happy Birthday wake-up:

Then we gave Penny her birthday present:

We had her brunch birthday party at Julius Kahn playground. Bagels and lox, fruit salad and muffins, coffee, juice and mimosas - yum.



We were happy that so many friends and family were able to join us.

Everyone was so generous with their gifts. One Penny opened at the party was from Greg and Nathalie. She is in love with her new puppies, she calls one "Baby Whata" - Baby Jaguar from Dora. We don't see a resemblance, but that's quite alright ;).


There was a lot of playing in the playground.

We were able to pull her off the playground with the promise of cupcakes!

Penny played some more with Mimi before we wrapped it up.


We returned home and after Penny napped for a bit we opened some presents.

We Facetimed with Nono and Nanay, Keese, Josef and the boys while we opened their presents…

…which included a Hello Kitty backpack, baby stroller, tea set and dress from Nono and Nanay, and a pink soccer and cones from Keese and gang :).

What a wonderful day we had celebrating Penny's 2nd birthday. Everyone's generosity was so appreciated, as was then joining us at the party.


Penny's face in this one looks just like this (far right). She was 10 months old. My how time is flying!

What a great day of family, friends and celebration we had. Happy Birthday to our big girl! We love you so.
