Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Buttercup lovingly grew out her hair so that she could donate 10 inches to Locks For Love.

Yesterday, we went to the salon to get her hair cut.

She loves it!!!
Good job, Buttercup!!  All those tangles were worth combing out for awhile for such a worthy cause!!
We are proud of you!

Coco is Four!

Happy Birthday, Coco!

What a fun day you had coloring with your new coloring pencils and coloring books!

You helped Grandma decorate your cake.....

...and you picked a purple polka-dot theme!!!

You smiled all day....

...and thought of a wish before you blew out your candles!!

You received a new purple winter jacket...

...a Dora journal....

....sticker earrings.....

....and paper dolls that Grandpa and Grandma helped you punch out of the book.

I really tried hard to talk you out of having your "4" birthday.  I asked you if you would stay "3" for one more year and then have your "4" birthday next year.  But you were adamant about turning 4 and told me that it just had to be this way.

Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!
We Love You!!

Are You Ready For Some Football?

This girl is ready....



...it's the thing to do...



...when your sibling closest in age is a boy.....
...and he is a daily playmate!!

Go Get-Em Coco!
She was having so much fun that she requested a football themed birthday party!  With a little encouragement from mom, we have since changed the theme for next week's party to purple polka dots!!

Look What We Got Yesterday.....

...and it has been hanging around all day today!!!
The kids are very excited about this new visitor!!
