Penny, Grandpa Tom, Nana and I went off into the valley to celebrate Penny’s birthday today.  Following last year’s tradition we went to the zoo and out to lunch.  We had a wonderful time together in the sun.  Penny loved seeing all the animals, especially the birds and monkeys.  For her birthday lunch she had a cheese empanada and some ribs, with chocolate ice cream for dessert, YUM!!!  While we were gone Daddy decorated the house for our party at night.  Penny was happy she was able to celebrate with Grams, Grandma and Grandpa Margheim and Granny over skype!  They got to see her open presents and enjoy her yummy birthday cake.  A wonderful day was had by all and now Penny is fast asleep dreaming I’m sure of her wonderful day today.  Thanks to everyone for all the birthday wishes!  Happy Birthday Penelope!!  I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!
