A VERY VERY special day for Penny

I cannot even begin to fully explain how much I love Penny & how much joy she has brought into our home.  She watches me all day just wanting to smile at me.  She balances us all out with her calm personality + she gets anxious with lots of people around & would rather just retreat upstairs & talk to mama & London.  She is cuddly, sweet + she snorts when she cries.  She is a mama's girl through & through & I am so proud that she is.  My dad always tells me how much of a mama's girl I was....
So, it fills me with joy that my sweet little Penny Pie is a mama's girl.  She is LOVED so very much.

Penny's blessing day will ALWAYS hold a very special spot in my heart...reserved just for her.
My beautiful & talented sister made Penny's blessing dress & bonnet + I couldn't have been more happy with the results. 

Sunday mornings are a l w a y s SO crazy at the Allen household.
But, on this very Sunday, things couldn't have ran more smoothly.
We made it to church on time + came with a special spirit about us.
Blake gave the most genuine, sincere, & heartfelt baby blessing I have ever heard.
The blessing had me weeping like a willow + dry eyes were nowhere in sight.
Truly touching & heartfelt.
Penny is one lucky lady to have such a daddy.
Thankfully, I recorded it & will be typing it up for Penny's baby book.
I love that she will be able to always read & treasure the words that her daddy blessed her with.

It was so lovely to have all of our closest friends & family supporting us & Penny on her special day.

The lunch was delicious, the company even better, & miss Penny was the star of the day as she was passed around & held by everyone.

We couldn't be more thrilled with how the day turned out.

It truly was a very very special day for Penny.
