Soaking up the Luv

Penelope sure luvs her some grandparents!

Thanks for all the good times over the holidays Poppy T

and DeDe!

I loved all the adventures we got to go on

and all the mischief we got into

I promise to keep all our secrets

until the next time we hang out together

Thanks for all the laughs

and bearing with me through the time-outs

Thanks for showing me how to feed the ducks

(sorry about eating most of the crackers)

And for bearing with me through the Christmas-card-picture-taking

I'm so glad I got to see my great-grandma Nani

and learn how to feed my baby doll

I loved sitting on my great-grandpa Papa J's lap

(sorry for the wet kisses)

Thanks for playing with me

and letting me touch all the "pretties"

I'm so glad to have my great-grandma Mama J to hang out with

Thanks for allowing me to touch the nutcrackers (sorry about the broken arm)

I wish all my grandparents weren't so far away, but I am sending you my love and can't wait until we can see each other again!

Love, Penelope

The Car

Cousin Cade received this car for Christmas. It was a big hit.

Sharing it was a wee bit difficult for both of them.

Cade won this bout. Penelope pouted in the wagon.

While Cade was napping Penelope soaked up all the alone time she could in the car.

Saying goodbye was not easy.

Poppy rigged this up so that  both cousins could play with the car.

Even little Ella got in on the action.

"Hold on tight, Little Sis!''

Chillin' in the Coupe

Penelope takes command.

Now this little girl is working on her parents for a car of her own...

Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning with Poppy and DeDe

Things were a bit different this year with a baby and two toddlers running the show.

DeDe and Penelope

We had a few problems keeping Cade and Penelope from taking each other's new toys.

"No! Mine!"

After Cade got Penelope's cell phone Penelope took over Cade's tee ball set.

Merry Christmas!

Cousin Love

Penelope and her cousin Cade sure do love each other. Yes, there has been plenty of battling over toys during the past couple of days, but there have also been plenty of sweet moments together.

Penelope loves giving her sweet cousin Ella some love too. Especially since Ella is a bit easier to "share" with.

Big cousin Cade makes sure Penelope gets to where she needs to go.

Of course these two also have had plenty of fun getting into trouble together.

Watch out! Here they come....
