Olivia's First Hair Cut

Olivia had her very first haircut today. I got lucky with her and her hair grew in fairly evenly and the ends were curly so it hid any unevenness but it started to look a little stragley so I decided it needed to be cut. Just a little though she has such long hair and I am hoping we haven't lost her cute ringlets at the end!

Before shot with it wet so you can see how long it really is!


Before shot when it was dry so you can see her curls!

after shot the we only cut about 2 1/2 inches so not a ton but it looks healthier now. The bottom is already starting to curl under so I am hoping her ringlets will return.

Christmas!

Christmas Eve presents Ryan got Toy Story, Olivia got princesses and Christopher got Superman!

Olivia Christmas morning we could hear the kids whispering by the door so we waited for them to knock to tell us they were awake but they never did so we gave it about 5 mins and went in but they were both back in bed awake but in bed!

Putting up the Christmas tree finally!

We finally put up the Christmas tree last night, we had planned on moving back upstairs so we were going to wait until we did that to put one up then Chris got a full time job offer in IF that is pretty much going to require us to move there so we decided to stay in the basement instead of moving twice in a month. Anyway so after all of that we decided to just go get a fake tree that was marked down to $20 instead of getting a real one that would cost more than that. So we got a fake one with the promise that we would never use it again! So here are some pictures of us putting up the Christmas tree!
