Bitty got a haircut :(

her loose lovely curls fell to the floor, and she sat beaming in the chair, looking and feeling all "growed" up.

it was time. the baby curlicues were making the rest of her hair a tangled mess, and i'd postponed this "first" for a long time.

of course, i saved (every) sweet strand of curls. :)

the next night she had her school program and i got to watch my little short-haired, bright-eyed angel take out joseph with her large glittery tinsel-covered angel wings as she inevitably couldn't hold still on stage. my little twirling angel.

i spent 3 blissful hours photo editing today and finally getting our christmas cards designed and ordered. i have taken everyone's holiday pictures BUT ours, so it was nice to finally get that off my plate ...

here's a few candlelit photos we took last night ...

i WILL be blogging more next year. i get so behind on pictures when i don't!
