Garrett Gets a Hair Cut

My goodness .... I can honestly say that this is the latest that one of our little men has gotten a hair cut! Grant had his first hair cut before he was even a year old (he was nine months old). Garrett is almost two YEARS old, and we finally got his hair cut. It was a very difficult decision to cut.....As many of you know, he had gorgeous curly hair. I loved it ... it was so cute ... he was so sweet with his curly hair. Lots of people said "Cut it". Lots of people said "Don't touch it". But, in the end, even with the Johnson and Johnson curl spray, he just did NOT like to have his hair combed, brushed ... nothing. It was always a tangled mess (except after a bath), and it WAS CRAZY WILD and really long.

In the end, we decided to get it cut ... and now he looks like such a little boy! I had a bit of remorse afterward, but it was the right decision .... we may allow it to grow a little more, but we'll see.

Here's some pictures ....

Todd got his hair cut here when he went to Michigan and now our boys do too!

Getting ready to take his coat off ...

First we spray .... "Cheese!" Garrett Says

"He just started combing, didn't he?!?!?" (I told you he didn't like it .. and I didn't lie)

A sucker made it better ......

For a little while anyway ...

All done!

This picture reminds me of my dad when he was little ....

Christmas with the Little Men

This past Christmas was really quite amazing! We had so many Christmas celebrations (five), and it was so busy....but MY GOODNESS was it ever FUN! These three little men that we have surprise us more and more every day. They can be some of the most bad behaved little men one minute to the most amazing, generous, helpful, content, happy.... I could just go on and on. I am literally just so baffled by our children. One minute I think that I am doing them absolutely no good staying home with them, and then they do something that makes me realize that "I did that ...." I feel pride in moments like those. And this Christmas, Our Little Men showed us so many of those moments....it was truly amazing!

Here are a few pictures of Our Little Men and their Christmas Parties ....
