Christmas Pictures

We had some family pictures taken the Saturday after Thanksgiving. I was nervous, because Reece has been pretty shy with strangers lately, so I wasn't sure how well she would respond to the photographer. She did pretty good though! Here are some of our favorites...

Daddy won

Let me start this blog by saying, I love, love, love, everything about Reece's hair. I love the color, the texture, the way it feathers around her ears, the curl at the nape of her neck. That is why I vowed I would NOT cut her hair. Little girls don't need haircuts until their hair is really long, right? Reece's hair isn't long, her bangs come down past her eyes, but I thought I could just sweep it over until it got long enough to tuck behind her ears. Jason has been on me to at least cut her bangs because they do hang down so far in her face (as I'm sure you have noticed in past blog posts). I refused. To rub salt in the wound, everyone would say, "oh, honey you need a haircut, your hair is all in your eyes", which in response, Jason would look at me with a smirk on his face. Well, Jason won...my sweet girl got her beautiful hair cut. And might I add, she is cuter than before!! Thank you Leanna and everyone at EmaLisa salon for doing such a great job and giving Reece and I moral support!!

Everything started out just fine (I'm sure the lollipop had NOTHING to do with that!)

she was as against getting her hair cut as I was, so I had to help her through it :)

Not happy!

tight grip still on the lollipop!

this might not be so bad after all.

spoke too soon!

Pretty girl...

She can actually see Mickey Mouse Clubhouse now, without al the hair in her eyes!

Can't get enough Mickey!

Just relaxin!

Sweet summertime!

I cannot believe it is almost August already! We have had such a fun summer...so much has happened. Reece started walking, turned one, and started speaking the sweetest baby language! Reece LOVES being outside and playing her little heart out, nevermind we have had over 40 days of 90+ degree temps! She would be outside all day long if she could...must get it from her daddy! She loves her new swingset, but her favorite thing about it is climbing the ladder then sliding down the slide...she is too funny! We love being her parents and getting to spend every minute we can with her!!
