The Pretty Little Princess Turns SIX!!!!
She began the morning VERY early...before 6am. She had 2 of her girl cousins overnight to celebrate this blessed event! After chocolate chip pancakes, we were off to a surprise stop at a local pottery place. The girls (and I) picked out a piece of pottery and began painting our masterpieces. Surprisingly, by the time we were finished, it was lunch time. We met some family at a restaurant where we took this
BEFORE PICTURE....
...Then, it was off to the hair dresser who gave me and my children our first haircuts. I know, I know...she doesn't look old enough!
Although the Pretty Little Princess wanted to give her hair to her Pop-Pop who is lacking in the hair department, she gave it to....
...Locks of Love!!!

The finished look! Too cute and just in time for summer!
Now, for my mop. My hair wasn't exactly long enough for a donation for an actual wig, but Locks of Love will still take my locks so they can sell my hair & use the money to benefit the organization.
So thick and painful...at times!
I could FEEL the burden LIFTING! I wish I could describe the weight that was lifted when she started to snip! Ahhhh!
Our hair, ready for mailing.
We did it!!!
Matching haircuts!

Wheeeee!
Swimming with Cousins is so much fun!
Little Bear
The HIGH DIVE...yep, with NO life jacket!
But, to go WAY out where the water is about 13 feet deep, she decides a life jacket may be nice!
Back at home...surprising Daddy with our hair donation!
Little Bear and Daddy have been growing their hair out, too. Wonder if they'll be next for Summer Cuts? Daddy is close to "donation status"...you have to have 10" to donate if you want the donation to go to the wigs for children.
Oreo Ice Cream Cake...Yummy! A great way to end a wonderful, unforgettable day!

Pretty Little Princess was a little worried about what Daddy would think about her haircut, but he thought it was cute!

HAPPY 6th BIRTHDAY, Pretty Little Princess!
Always giving...that is you, and now your teaching your daughter that valuable principle. You both look so good with your hair shorter. I think I know the pretty lady who cut your hair. You certainly know how to celebrate birthdays in a memorable way. Enjoyed this post.
ReplyDeleteWow! 6 years old...she's practically an adult! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe memories your family makes at your parent's place look like SO. MUCH. FUN!!!!
What a terrific childhood you are giving to your sweet children! I admire you, Wanda!
PS. Please pass along to Jerad that his 'white man's fro' looks great! ;) and the ladies of the house look quite lovely in their new do's! (It probably takes off about 10 degree of heat doesn't it? Sometimes I get tired of feeling like a 15 year old when i whip mine up in a ponytail, but Curt likes it and I don't know how to do 'short' hair, so for now, it's staying put!)
