Karidee's 5th Birthday

 Aviree was having a rough time watching Karidee open her presents, so Karidee gave her the special job of  looking after the presents that had been opened. Aviree was happy to be in charge of that. 

 Excited to be at her favorite restaurant, Mimi's!

 Aviree was so tired, but excited too.

 Khloee was excited about Mimi's as well.

 Now she's posing for the camera. 

 We sang Happy Birthday...

Karidee made a wish and blew out the candles. Then we all ate cake.

My favorite quote of the day:

Aviree (crying sadly): I want presents too.

Karidee: When it's your birthday, you'll get lots of presents.

Aviree: No. 

Karidee: How about I open my presents and share all of them with you. That can be your gift today. Deal?

Aviree: Ok. Deal. 

Yep, that's our sweet Karidee. She's our little chocolate milk lovin', cute face, sweetheart. Happy 5th Birthday Karidee! We love you so much!

Thank You Grandma!

She loved the gifts! Aviree too! Thank you!

Karidee's Hair Cut

 Before... Look how much they took off! 8 inches for the Pantene Hair Donation.

 After, holding the hair that was cut off. 

 The process.... they cut off the hair that was being donated. 

 Washed her hair then the real hair cut began.

 Getting some light layers. 

 She let the stylist BLOW DRY HER HAIR!!!! This girl hates it when I get her with my blow dryer at home. She was all into the salon experience. 

 Waiting for the curling iron to heat up. Karidee, of course, wanted her new hair to be curled. 

 Getting her hair styled.

 Posing with her new do!

 She loves it!

Karidee has been asking to get her hair cut. She used to hate getting it cut, and I'd have to beg her to let me trim it. She's my kindergarten girl now, though. I surprised her after school with a Girl Trip to the salon to get her hair cut. She did great and she loves how her hair looks. 

The following are a few more pictures of her before school each day of this week. 

Day 2

 On the way to school.

 Lining up after the bell rang.

Day 4... She asked to wear the ribbon like a headband with a flower on it. I wasn't to excited about her having to wear uniforms, but she's making it pretty fun. :) 

Karidee's 1st Day of Kindergarten

Karidee is a kindergartener! She is so ready for this new adventure. 

Her mommy will be too, after she stops crying!
