When I looked through my Pinterest page I started for Penny's party,
I am surprised that I used almost every idea.

Just love floating flowers.
Here is the cupcake tower, with white daisies. Also the favors.
Grandma Peg played a song for Penny that had me is tears. What a sweet woman.
Sweet families on the lawn...
Four of my favorite girls on the planet!

A birdseye view.
My heart overflowed...so many family members, so many friends.
It was a tub of love...really, it was.

The next day the sun came out. Penny got to explore.
(Once my sweetheart gave me a card that said, "Let's grow old together and watch our grandchildren play in the yard..." I was thinking of that when we were watching Penny play.)

She is SO BIG! Penny loves her Grandpa!
We went for a walk to the park...
Cool hoodie!

We sat on a bench and looked at that beautiful face.
Oh sweet baby.

I made a scrapbook of Penny's first year. Mom doesn't like fluff and stickers and stuff.
I kept it simple, well, as simple as I was able.;-)

Now that's a party. What a loved little girl. You really do know how to throw a party. she is so sweet. I like that saying about watching your grandchildren. You are such a good Grandma.
You do know how to throw a great party, girl! What fun!
So glad you were able to share this special time, together. Penny is a lucky little girl to have you as her Grandma.
I am so amazed at all the work you put into this party...where do you get all the energy?! Everything looks beautiful.
I am going out of town tomorrow (women's retreat through church in Urbana), but will be home Sat. night and will hopefully talk to you soon! It's been too long since we've seen each other...think you'll be up to some thrifting one day next week?
What a party! The last photo and the one of you and Little P, and grandpa and Little P and Mikey . . . ahhh heck, loved them all!
