Pablo, our mariachi boy

Mariachi for hire! Ryan, being the cool cat that he is, had the foresight to have a toddler sized mariachi suit made while he was on his mission in Nicaragua. Well, actually he had it made for our nephew but he is now almost 10, so the suit has been passed to Graham. We had no idea it fit until the other night. The good news is it will fit him for awhile and the double good news is that we have an additional matching jacket that is a size smaller so in about a year Penny will be able to join his mariachi band.

In case you are thinking "Oh, I didn't know Ryan or Tess played the violin," we don't. But maybe Graham will, he was really in to it. I say we send him down to the streets of Boise to serenade the city folk and earn some basketball card money.

Penny in jammies

I seriously haven't blogged since Halloween?! Come on Tess, get it together. Not that I am an avid blogger or anything but at least once a month is manageable. Moving on to the good stuff...

If you don't know Penny, know this, she is funny! And I mean a goofball. We can already tell she and Graham are going to work us over big time in the silly department. She loves Graham and Lars, as in she lights up like Christmas morning when she sees them. Now before you scroll through these pictures and say "what's up Tess? You posted essentially one picture, Penny in purple cupcake jammies." I say to you this, No, I posted six pictures of Penny in purple cupcake jammies. They all capture her silliness and cuteness and sweetness. And just seeing them makes me want to go wake her up and give her a squench right now!

Big smiles, even from the baller in the background.

Getting comfy with her favorite pup.

Side note, Penny has awesome ears. They are one of my favorite things about her.

Sweetest face ever!

And one more of a happy girl with her puppy foot rest.
