kaylee's 5, kofro's and christmas

1. monday kaylee officially turned 5. we hosted monday night dinner with beef brisket, potatoes and carrots. bread and butter. and ended it with the famous krispy kreme donut "cake". (love this photo!)

2. yesterday kaylee and i spent the WHOLE afternoon at a friends house. just what i needed to feel "normal" again.

3. 2 more days and both kids will be on winter break for two weeks- can. not. wait!

4. monday morning made an early run to target and a mom from preschool remembered kaylee. she LOVED kaylee's outfit and feathered headband and wants it for her own daughter. (boy did i feel like a fashionista!)

5. though i personally feel like frump girl, again. yep, it must be winter.

6. jenna from sweet fine day posts that one daughter is probably the whitest half korean she has ever seen. she has not seen me yet {mike's informed me that i need to hit the tanning beds} and i'm supposedly all korean! she also posts how her mom is sporting a kofro. i had one in 6th grade and 8th grade while living in california. think it was mom's way of making sure i never got a boyfriend.

7. 9 more days till christmas and a little sad that we (kaylee and i) haven't made anything this year for christmas. last year we made a gingerbread house, ornaments and christmas trees. we still have a little time left.

8. kaylee got a gift card to get her ears pierced from her cousins. wonder if she will actually go through with it?! she's kinda wimpy when it comes to any type of pain. a little scratch brings tears.

9. been slacking and am totally behind with the thank-you cards from kaylee's party. need to get them out today!

10. sending out but a few christmas cards this year. only to those we don't see on a regular basis so if you don't get one, please don't be offended.
