T-Day 08

We did Thanksgiving in Big Bear this year. We went up a few days early and bundled up to go to the village.
We don't do cold...here are the kids all snuggly warm.



On the backside of the village there's a landscape photo gallery. We've walked by this place for years and have ALWAYS admired this picture displayed in the very front. We LOVE this picture and have dreamt of buying it.

At around $300-400, it's always been a bit out of our student budget, but we thought now that we've grown up and got a new job--maybe it's time to treat ourselves. We walked into the gallery ready to make a deal only to find that this picture is now priced at $2200. Unfortunately, we're not that grown up...

Here's my girls sitting in front of one of the artsy-fartsy knick-knack stores.


Thanksgiving was fun. We love hanging out with family. And I love a good home cooked meal. Cliff had to work Friday, so we headed home soon after dinner. We gave Lacy dramamine for both car rides (up and down the mountain). She didn't get sick, but I think she did suffer some other unusual side effects--a cross between having cotton mouth and turrets syndrome. A little weird, but I'll take that any day over cleaning up barf ;)

Daddy gets a break!

Cliff took the 3 days before Thanksgiving off--and we ran him ragged. He came with us to Lacy's school Thanksgiving party.

Oh Lacy, you're so sassy!

Such a happy boy!

One of the mom's brought this cute little treat. I want to try and make it...some day...

Then it was Christmas come early for our family!
We got Disneyland Passes!
It was little man's first time.

This is why I probably won't go without Cliff...can you even imagine?!
Lacy is old enough now that she has her own pass. She's SO proud!

AND Small World was open again! The line was long, but it moved quickly.

One of the Reasons...

I'm afraid to take a shower and leave Wes unsupervised (or rather unprotected from his sisters!)

It's sweet, but kinda scary...

Lazy Saturday Mornings

We love hanging out in our PJ's all morning (and sometimes afternoon too!)



CHEERS!

Lacy's First Salon Experience

A while back, I took Lacy to a kids haircutting place and asked the stylist to do a side bang on Lacy. She replied, "you want bang like this?" and then cut a straight line across her forehead. My Lacy is beautiful and she still looked cute, but my heart dropped a little when she just butchered my girl's hair =(

So I've been waiting for her bangs to grow out some before I got her haircut again. This time I didn't want to take any chances and I took her to MY big girl salon. I LOVE Nina (Lacy's stylist). She told me she had a little sister the same age as Lacy and loves to cut her hair. She did a fabulous job AND she charged less than the kids place. SCORE!

I didn't get a picture of the hair wash, but Lacy wasn't a fan. She didn't quite fit in the chair even with the booster. But here she is getting a cut and LOVING the big mirror to check herself out in.

Lacy also loves getting her hair blowdried.

Her Golden Locks!

Finished product. GORGEOUS!

Daddy does Hair

Lacy wanted her hair done like Penny from Hairspray.

I was gone for the morning so Cliff got the girls ready. Pigtails are one of his favorite hairstyles to do on the girls (maybe because he can do only a total of 3 hairstyles ;) He was so proud of himself, he took the girls pictures.
