Finally the new year came after having my mother in law sew my outfit. This year, all the ladies had to wear purple outfit. It was pretty hard because all the ladies had gone to the same store, for the same fabric. Luckily my mother in law got enough for my front and back skirt and enough for the shirt design. I was thankful my mother in law sew mine, my husband and my son's outfit less than 3 weeks.
I've always wanted to wear Hmong outfit but it was always so cold and my husband never wanted to wear with me. Since this year my in law made him wear it since they were wearing it too, he decided to wear it. I was pretty glad because every couple matched and I didn't want to be the only one standing out. My son loved his best with coins hanging and his money hat. This year had been the most interesting year because my husban and me got interview from the Sheboygan press and we also attend there after party which was pretty good.
After the last day of new which is today, we went to my husband's aunt house for thanksgiving. I decided to bring my cheesecake I made & shepherd pie. When we got to the house, there was 3 long table filled with food, drinks and goodie bags. There was so much people inside too, it was pretty full to sit anywhere to eat. As we formed a line to eat, my husband's aunt gave a speech to thank you those who could make it and for being a dish to share. As we then started to eat, I headed straight for the egg rolls and turkey breast.
I'm not really a turkey person, so I myself only eat the turkey breast. I love the way my sister in law makes her pineapple cherry mix drink, it's not so much liquor but enough to just sip and get full. Then as we talk and share stories, everyone was having a fun time. Finally, after cleaning up and packing some food home, we got home and ready to hit bed early. This year I'm very thankful for having all those who I love stand by my side and share more memories I the future.

First time having pink eye
I've had the pink eye since thursday which really sucked. I've never had the pink eye before and I hope this will be my last. First my 6 month son had it, then me and then my 17 month old son. It keeps revolving over and over. I took my son and me to get checkup on Friday and we both had prescription eye drop but that didn't really helped.
After using it for one day my eyes became more teary and itching. Beside that my eye swollen double and I could barely open my eyes. I was very mad not the fact that I caught this virus but that I couldn't come to school. I have exam next week and with missing one day can cause so much complication into missing notes and in class points.
Although being at home was a good thing because it also gives me the opportunity to spend time with my two boys. I barely have time with them even on the weekends where I usually catch up on my homework or attend to these big feast we have every other weekend. Not only did I find out how contagious this virus was but my other eye had just caught it on Saturday, since my right eye is so watery and with me keep forgetting that I can spread it through the other eye with one touch.
I was fierce knowing that each day being home went so slow and when your at home; you get more homework than the usual days. I'm trying to ignore my pink eye and daily cleaning it but not so much to where I can also damage it. I just hope sometime this week, I can come back to school seeing clear with both of my eyes.

family picture
On Saturday me and my husband took our two sons to go take a family picture. It was pretty hard decision because my husband wanted to take pictures at an studio in Milwaukee while I just wanted an cheap but decent pictures. Turn out, my cousin who loves to photo shoot was living only 10 minutes away from us. So, we went to her house and she took a few outside which was turn out really good. Then she took some of me and my husband, a couple of my kids alone, some of us at an park and the rest inside her basement.
Her basement is fully loaded of different backgrounds, lightening lights and even accessories. Talking about carrying away with hobbies, it was more than a hobby to her. It was like a job for her. She does charge other people of whom she take their pictures. Most of her things she buy, she been investing in them from working overtime on her job. I was thankful, she gave me an discount on my family pictures.
She had edit my pictures and made those that I wanted in an CD paying an fee of $5.00 After editing my pictures, I got to look at which ones I want and chose it for wallets, and bigger size. However, I didn't like the fact that she only had 1 hours to take pictures of us. Having more time taking pictures, is what makes picture look better instead of sloppy. It was pretty nice of her not having to make me pay extra for the bigger size of the pictures.
Finally, after having all my pictures me and my husband went to Walmart to buy frames for our pictures. Then I used some of my sister in law's glass plate for my photos. Making a long frame of glass, I glue my pictures onto the glass plates, adding design around it and then putting it on my wall. It was so pretty and thank god it's high too, that way my sons don't break it. However, I did pay $100 for my cousin's picture she took of us, which she said she's going to invest that money into a new camera lens.
