thats right! we have a one year old on our hands! oh boy! its incredible how fast this past year has gone...but, its truly been the best year...ever. the joy that penny has brought to tom and i simply cannot be put into words. its amazing. if you would have asked me a year ago if i could describe the love a parent has for their child...you just cant sum it up. you can have the most fun just simply watching them...you can also be so stressed and frustrated, but then they will give you the cutest smile and all of a sudden nothing else matters! thank you penny ray for all the love and laughter you have brought to my life. :)
Pennys new thing to do is closing doors. here she was having fun opening and closing...open, close, open, close, open...you get the point. i love being a momma to this cutie!
i love this picture of penny! ha! tom got off work early and came home with some toys for penny...cant you see the excitement on pennys face?! i feel i can hear her saying "thank you SO much for the mickey and minnie da-da!"
yay!
my girl. :)
silly goof.
high five dad!
watchin a lil' tv with dad.
party time! it was such a great time! in light of pennys love for mickey and minnie, we decided to do a minnie mouse theme. ill admit, i put in way to many late nights making decorations and deciding on what food to make...but it was worth it! such a good time! thank you to all who came!
proud daddy.
