Kourtney shared photos on her most recent Instagram post, showing herself and Penelope on the "Holidays Made Here" event, a tour through Warner Bros' studios in Los Angeles centered on the setting of "Gilmore Girls." 

The event celebrates 25 years of the emblematic series, with Kourtney's photos highlighting some of the series' most iconic locations. The limited-time event began on December 18th and will run until January 4th, with the space being recreated exactly as it looked in the TV show.

The photos on Kourtney's post put an emphasis on her relationship with Penelope, who, at 13, stands at her mother's height. "The Rory to my Lorelai," Kourtney sweetly captioned the post. 

The images show her and Penelope enjoying the settings, including taking a photo in front of some of the show's most emblematic sets, visiting the beloved grocery store, and holding on to copies of the "Stars Hollow Gazette," the newspaper read by the TV show's characters. She also shared photos of the two enjoying some drinks in the studio, which, to commemorate the event, is selling Candy Cane Coffee and more. 

It appears that Kourtney and Penelope decided to visit the studio on their own, with no other family members present for their holiday outing. They dressed comfortably for the occasion, with both wearing jeans and black tops. In the case of Kourtney, she opted for a darker overall look, wearing black denim and matching sunglasses. Penelope had her hair styled in a bun and was seen laughing alongside her mom.

Over the years, Kourtney has opened up about her relationship with Penelope. "Being her mommy is one of the greatest things I have ever done," she wrote on an Instagram birthday tribute. "She inspires me to be a better person every day. I won’t ever have the words for how much joy and love she brings to my life."

In the past, she's also mentioned how she's been practicing co-sleeping with her kids, with Penelope and her continuing to sleep on the same bed almost every day. “She’s slept with me every day since she was born and pretty much still does,” said Kourtney on the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast.
