So Handsome

Blake has crazy hair, just like his sister.  Crazy hair on boys is not as accepted as it is on girls, so he was getting frequent haircuts, which was getting expensive.

Rob cuts his own hair, so he had all the equipment.  He took him in the bathroom and slowly cut his hair.  He did so good!  Doesn't he look so handsome?

My Christmas Tradition

Apparently my Christmas tradition is to dye my hair a shade of brown.

In 2006, I did what you should never do, dyed my hair on the 22nd of December on my own! I hated this color.

In 2007, I forgot about my Christmas tradition. Oops!

In 2008, I was trying to be thrifty and decided to dye my hair darker. I think it was the combo of a darker color and a haircut I didn't like that made me wear my hair in a pony tail until I dyed it back blonde.
And here we are in 2009. This year, unlike past years I thought about coloring my hair for a few months. I really like it. I love my haircut and the darker shade works well with it I think.

She put a few highlights in and I think that makes a big difference.

What do you do with your hair? Keep it the same or change, change, change?

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

How was your weekend? Ours was busy, which was good.

It looked like this around here on Friday.

This was not good.

On Saturday, I finally got my haircut! It had been a very long 9 weeks. It seems my Christmas tradition is to change my hair color. I didn't realize it, but the last 3 years I have dyed my hair dark at Christmas. Maybe that needs to be a post of it's own! Anyway, Christine did an awesome job and I love my new DARK, SHORT haircut!

I made pulled pork in the crock-pot and it was so delicious (recipe tomorrow)!

On Sunday, our friends invited us to open gym/Christmas party at Mill's Gymnastics. The kids had a blast!

They explored the gym.

Ate pizza. Met Santa (again). And again, Ava asked for a blue rocket ship, Buzz Lightyear, and little girl cupcakes. Blake asked why his parents torture him by placing him on Santa's lap.
