Asher's New Do

We've been growing out Asher's hair for a while now so we could put little twists/dreads in it. It still looks short but his hair curls up so tight, when you pull out a few strands, it's actually about 3-4 inches long. So we took him to his favorite stylist, Lizzy, recently to see if it was long enough to do the dreads. She said she thought it was & that since his hair is so super curly, it should hold the twists well.

Here's his before shots...

And 2 1/2 hours later, 2 suckers and a breakfast bar eaten, a few tears shed, and lots of time spent on the iPad mini, he had a new do...

I was actually really shocked that he would sit that long but he did great! We think he likes it because when we got home he ran into Abby's room and said, "Abby! Look at my hair!" Then throughout the day he would touch it and smile and say, "My hair!" ;-)

He's "supposed" to sleep with a do-rag on his head but it's typically off by the time he wakes up in the morning...

Perty cute kid, if you ask me ;-)

Annual Trip to Branson

For many, many years now, we have gone to Branson the first weekend of November because it's the first weekend they have all of their Christmas decorations up at Silver Dollar City. It's also a good time to go because it's not usually too cold just yet. We go with Steve's parents and his sister and his family. We all share a condo and eat most of our meals in to save a little $, plus it's just easier with our big family.We also celebrate the October and November birthdays of Steve's mom, my niece, our oldest daughter, and Steve's sister. Fun times!
