their first...

Believe it or not we are still experiencing some "firsts" with the girls. This one usually comes when they are pretty young. But they have been home 3 years and they just got their first hair cuts. They weren't in a hurry to get their hair cut and so a while back we all talked and agreed that they would donate their hair to Locks of Love, an organization that makes wigs for little girls that have cancer or long term medical hair loss. They require at least 8 inches of hair to be donated so it took a while for the girls to have their hair long enough to be cut and have some left to look decent.

P. and I took them to the hair dresser and they each had their own separate hair dresser to cut their hair. it seemed to be a whirlwind, I had one on my lap and P. had one on his and within a few moments they were rubber banding and cutting. I only got a few pictures of them getting their hair cut. Within a few minutes they were mostly done and they were standing in front of each other looking at the other. The hair dressers followed them to the floor and were still cutting and trimming while their stood and watched each other. They both did so well, not at all scared or worried. I think they actually really liked all the attention and looking so beautiful. Paige had 9 inches cut and Phoebe had 8 inches cut. Phoebe said that we should do it again tomorrow. :)

I took a few before pictures and I will upload some older ones that we had too. Just so you can see how different they look and how much was cut. They seem to really love their new hair cuts. they also look about 3 years older than when they walked in to get their hair cut. The cut makes them look so much older, my little babies are growing up so fast!

 

 These are some before pictures that you can see the length of their hair, this was around Christmas time so it might have been a bit longer. Below is Paige waiting to get her hair cut.

I know a little weird, but that's a lot of hair, right?

 

These pictures were taken just after we got home from getting their hair cut. They were both very happy! No more rubber bands, barrettes or pony tails. Mommy is happy too.
