The semi-formal 5 year old


Last night Kylinn & Adam attended the "Daddy Daughter Dance" at her school. It was a luau complete with a huge meal, limbo & hula, sand, fish, live dj and a gift raffle. I had bought her a Hawaiian dress ahead of time, and a back up toile dress for my very particular fashionista. Of course, the Hawaiian dress wasn't "fluffy" enough, so she went dressed to the nines. This morning she told me that it was "the best time [she] ever had!" Adam (and I) wore our [matching] garb from Hilo Hattie. I'm glad that that one impulsive purchase in Hawaii 10 years ago has been worth it. Apparently, there was a scramble around here for aloha and the re-sale shops were stripped clean. The dads were all so sweet & funny last night. They were far more concerned about matching their leis to their outfits than their daughters were.

While it was so awesome for Kylinn & Adam to have that special time together, the event was put on by the PTO and I co-chaired, so it was fun to peek in on them every once in a while.
