Getting Penelope ready to go outside has proven more difficult in the Connecticut winter than a typical Chilean day.  

Not only does Penelope get to wear a big snowsuit, she also has a special fuzzy insert for her car seat, thanks to our friends Chris and Rikki, who lent it to us for our trip. 

You’ll notice that she wasn’t exactly super happy about the ordeal.  She eventually got used to it and was nice and warm in the snow outside.  

Now, why would Penelope bother with getting all dressed up and go outside on a day like this?  To visit Grandpa Tom at the Pancake Breakfast!!  Here’s Grandpa showing Penelope how to perfectly flip a pancake.

Here’s Penelope doing her best Pillsbury Doughboy impression.

Of course, it is Christmas, and Christmas means SANTA!!!

 

Penelope then wanted to play in the snow before coming home again.  Snow angel time!

Penelope can’t wait for Auntie Karin to arrive tomorrow along with more and more snow.
