This and that...

I've been off work for four days and we had a great weekend. It's back to work tomorrow, but at least it's just a three day work week!

We got Lauren's bangs trimmed on the eve of CNY. I think she looks a little older with bangs. Here she is on Valentine's Day morning...


Her hair is finally starting to grow in on the sides. It took a full year to go from the super short cut she had in China to this...


My super splurge for Lauren's b-day next month just arrived today. Kai-Lan is the theme and these plates just came out and only a couple of places on the web carry them. I wanted the plates and tablecovers and finding them both in stock at the same time was a chore. I was checking the party web site every morning and finally they were both available...


I'm making most of the decorations myself. Thank God for the Nick Jr. website and all their printable crafts. Here's a sneak peak of what I have planned...
