Cooper's First Hair Cut

Porter had his first haircut before Cooper had hers.  Yes, that's right.  Her hair hadn't ever been cut.  For the longest time, I was waiting for it to be long enough to get it ALL pulled back in a ponytail (she only lets me do that at mealtimes, however).  After our summer of sun and pools, it was definitely time.  Anna and I had talked about taking the girls together to the place Macy goes (Sharkies).  It hadn't worked out until Christmas, so that's what we did. 

It wasn't quite the experience Anna and I were expecting, as the ladies there were not any Anna had seen before and were fairly unfriendly.  The girls didn't seem to notice, though Macy did attempt to make small talk with her stylist.  ("I like your boots!") So sweet.  :)

Included in the cost was a "manicure."  Cooper was in heaven!

Though the before and after pictures hardly show a difference, it is definitely obvious in real life...

Before:

 During:

Poor, strained little neck!  I kept trying to help her...

Macy graciously let Cooper have the pink Barbie Jeep.  And then Mace proceeded to rev the motor and honk her car incessantly until Anna made her stop.  :)

Fingernail polish drying...

 After:

Ahh!  So healthy and pretty!

Macy wasn't around when I was taking "before" shots, but was all about getting these taken.  She's a much better poser than her cousin...

All in all, it was a fun morning (complete with Starbucks, of course!) with some of our favorite people.
