Best Card Ever

It turns out, Penelope is one of the best birthday card makers on the planet.  She is only 6 months old, but wow, she has a way with words!  Penny must be taking after her Aunt Tier, who always has the greatest blog posts.  This is what Linda found when she walked into Sarah and Taylor's house for her birthday dinner:

Penny was waiting in the foyer for her.  She was actually sound asleep holding the card on her lap, but they didn't take the photo until she just woke up.

Front of the card.  Yep, it's Penelope!


I'll translate from baby speak:  "Happy Birthday Nana!  I love you so much! You are the best Nana in the whole wide world.  You're so pretty and skinny and fun to play with.  I got you this Wegman's....
... gift card so you could by some healthy foods and vegetables for your smoothies. Love and Happy birthday!  Love, Nelope"  Penny kept trying to eat the card while Linda took the photo, but they got the shot with only a little drool on the card. 

Sarah  made a wonderful dinner including grilled fish and shrimp tacos, homemade salsa with avocados, two other sides and her famous strawberry shortcake for dessert.  (Actually, Christina made the dessert this time!) Dinner got cut a little short, but they will do a repeat of the exact same meal another time because it was all so yummy.
Taylor got confused and thought the food in the white bowl was ground beef.  It was actually sweet potato casserole!
