Tree! Kitchen! Hair!

Christmas started early this year. Nat, Tim & Alex are in town so we had "Christmas" up there today. Hazel got this awesome, awesome kitchen from Tutu & Auntie Michelle.* And some fake food to play with in it from the Texas family. (not pictured, I believe it is being washed in the sink" And we started to set up our Christmas. I finally bit the bullet and moved to a fake tree. Sure, it is not all pine-y but, as I was stringing hundreds of lights I remembered I hate stringing lights. It is the longest, most tedious part of decorating a tree. So, I want to do this once (One and Done). Which means I need to pay attention to where the tree comes apart for storage. Which leads to this:
Hazel loves the tree and has been putting the candy canes on, even though we are truly not done putting lights on.
This is actually from a couple of days ago. But notice the outfit. Socks with sandals! Eek. Notice the stance as well, this is totally an action outfit.
And then it got better. My kid is crazy.
Also, as a side note: Hazel and I just ate some delicious ham and cheese quesadillas that were made in her microwave (okay, so they were really made in the real microwave and finished in her's but it is the thought that counts and she thought it was awesome). How sad is it that my kid has a nicer kitchen than I do? And, if I count the doll houses, a better functioning house...I have got to get something down on this place.




*Not that I am complaining, because I did agree to this kitchen but it took me almost THREE hours to put this dang thing together. People make fun of how long Ikea stuff takes to assemble. Let me tell you, that is NOTHING. There were 216 pieces that I assembled by hand. Plus, the entire time Hazel was "helping" because she was so. excited. to. have. a. kitchen! At least she loves it, because there is nothing worse than putting in hard labor for your kid and then getting, "meh."

That is a very cute kitchen and good job assembling it.

And you really need to teach Hazel that socks with sandals is NOT an acceptable fashion choice. Nip it in the bud NOW!

I do agree that if it's not stopped now, it could lead to many "interesting" outfits, and you'll be to tired to argue about it and she'll get put on the bus for 4k with a fancy pink dress and red cowgirl boots...oh wait that's my daughter!

You know sometimes its just not worth the fight. I say let her wear the socks with the sandals, just take pictures of all her fashion flubs, they will be good pictures to show the dates when she gets older.

Love your blog Hazel (Meadow)! Thanks for the Christmas card. We'd love to come see your house. I'll have Kyle call Geoff over the holiday break.
