Book Battles and a Birthday

 


Penny counted down the days for a whole week and finally turned 4 on Monday! She was excited to get a daily vitamin now like the other kids and play PBS kids on the computer. The cousins came over on Monday for a birthday party. Penny wanted a strawberry cake with orange frosting.

For her birthday lunch we took her out to her favorite restaurant Penny Anne's Cafe in Bountiful. We enjoy the breakfast there. They have things like 'Penny Puffs' and 'Heavenly Hotcakes' that we love. 
Penny is always fun to play with. She is the master of the game Zen Battle. Somehow she almost always wins. She still loves her llama stuffy who is a constant companion. Penny loves puzzles and can do 100 piece puzzles on her own. She is also very good at Dot-to-Dot and coloring. Penny is great at riding a bike and scooter. She has the cutest laugh. Penny has a funny sense of humor. Lately she likes to ask 'Remember that time when... something funny happened...'. She exclaims 'Boom Baby!' when she gets what she wants in Zen Battle. She often quotes Bluey too which is her favorite show. She likes to eat apples with ranch dressing which the rest of us think is crazy. 
Kahlan has been the Book Battle champion this year. She read all 15 books. Her team took 1st place in her school! She was excited to go to the regional competition last week. Her team got 2nd place for 5th graders in the 24 schools! Her team also received an award for best name (My Side of the Library). She was so excited that she wore her medal to school for a day.
