After the visits with the grandparents, I decided that Penelope needed some one on one time with her mommy today.  So I did what any girl would want to do- we went SHOPPING!  To start out our morning we went to coffee with our friend Veronica then went shopping at the mall.  Apparently we missed the big winter sales (they were last week) but we were able to find some nice boots on sale.  Penelope will get to enjoy hers next winter, while I (who by the way was able to finally find my size here) can enjoy my boots now.  We came home for lunch with Steve and then went down to the beach for a nice walk and then visited with my friends Magaret and Ines and to finish off our day, went to the grocery store.  Sweet Pea was in a great mood all day, charming everyone she met.
