Big Haircut

Tonight was a big night for Anna.  We had a special date night for just the two of us, and part of it included getting her hair cut.  We've been talking about it for awhile and she's been pretty excited about it.  We decided if she was going to get a lot cut off at once, it might as well go to a good cause.  She had about 9 inches cut off and she's donating it to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths project, which uses the donated hair to make wigs for women with cancer. 


I snapped a few "last" pictures before we headed out the door.



We put it into four ponytails and then started cutting.
 







After the big haircut, Anna chose our dining location.  Nothing says date night like Taco Bell!



We shopped for a while and then checked out the new frozen yogurt place for dessert.  Anna chose strawberry yogurt with the following toppings:  strawberries, white chocolate chips, M&Ms, skittles, Trix, Lucky Charms, gummy bears, and sour gummy worms.  She claimed it was good but I declined her offer to let me taste and decided to take her word for it!
 

She LOVES her new hair cut and couldn't stop flipping her head around all night long.  It was a fun and special date night with my girl!

Surfside Beach 2012

We had a wonderful family vacation at the beach this year.  Apparently I made the unconscious decision to enjoy the trip instead of try and document every little thing in photographic form.  This is pretty much all I have from the week (other than the "photo shoot" I've already posted), and most of these were taken with my phone.  The highlight for Jack was the pool again this year.  He enjoyed the waves and playing on the beach, but he LOVED the pool.  Anna had a good time digging in the powdery sand, and the other two just had a great time running around everywhere!






Busted!  He got caught hiding behind the curtains eating cookies right before dinner!
Pop and Grammy gave the girls these cute cover ups right before we left and they loved them.  Unfortunately, this is the best picture I have of them together with them on.









One rainy morning we went to Toys R Us to look around and Lucy was in heaven on the baby doll aisle!

This is when Lucy got into the cookies before breakfast one morning!










This kid is going through a phase where he wants to wear his underwear backwards.  I can't even imagine how that would be comfortable!
