i have a five-year-old

oh, my hazelnut.  i adore you so much my heart could just burst.  you are weird, hilarious, and drive me crazy sometimes, but you make me so so happy.  i expect too much of you sometimes, (first child probs), but you rise to the occasion.  i'm so proud of you, girl.

we recently had some fun visitors!

when your husband texts you, "hey, i got free tickets to the killers concert; would you like to go?"

you drop EVERYTHING, scramble for a babysitter, and MAKE IT HAPPEN

because, it's THE KILLERS.  and goodness, they were great.  i've definitely been to better concerts (aka arcade fire...) but they put on a fantastic show and i got to see brandon flowers in a gold leather suit, so....

retroactively posting this, and so i'm not even sure when we took these beauties at Jayme's beach, but hey! i love these crazy people of mine.

california, you show-off.

please accept this festive pic dump as an apology for my lack of blogging
