Today is World Penguin Day…here’s a look at all of my favorite penguin pals!


And a glimpse at a special World Penguin Day visit to the St. Louis Zoo this morning:

Happy World Penguin Day!
Chickadee loves the new AR camera feature in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp…now she can hang out with Tia, her favorite villager!
On Wednesday, I shared pictures of Roald and Aurora’s wedding in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Today, I’m taking a look at their wedding reception in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp! I love everything from this most recent event, from the head table to the band set-up, and everything in between!
Today is my 3rd 39th birthday, and the fourth family birthday we’ve celebrated since the pandemic began. It was, as the other three have been, a slightly different celebration from what we’re used to, but still fun!
I started the day with a birthday greeting from Roald in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Since I still haven’t gotten Roald to move to my island in New Horizons, this was very exciting, because I love it when Roald wishes me a happy birthday!
My animal neighbors in New Horizons did have a party for me at Antonio’s house, and there was cake and presents, and even a piñata. As far as birthday celebrations in the time of COVID-19 go, this was really fun!
After church in the living room (again), I got to open my presents. And one of those presents was extra exciting, because it means I can invite Roald to my New Horizons island!!!
My other gifts were wonderful, too:
Since we couldn’t go anywhere, and I because I love Christmas so much, I even wore a Christmas print skirt from Pinup Girl Clothing:
The day was spend watching some of my favorite movies (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and A League of Their Own) and TV shows (I Love Lucy, Everybody Loves Raymond, Rick Steves’ Europe, Downton Abbey, The Golden Girls, and M*A*S*H), and baking cookies, as we always do on Sunday afternoons now.
For dinner we had one of my very favorites…Reuben casserole.
And a tiramisu layer cake for dessert, topped with 39 candles in the shape of a question mark!
We didn’t get to leave the house like we did last year for my birthday, but we had a really fun day!
I really enjoyed Alice’s salon cookie in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, and I think my penguin pals did, too!
Chickadee was so excited to see her two favorite elephants in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp having a tea party together earlier this week that she had to take a picture…I have to admit, I love finding these little surprises on my phone!
