Anna and McKenna both wanted to get their hair cut short, and since Patrick was out of town (and didn’t want them to get it cut), I took them! Patrick wasn’t COMPLETELY opposed to it, he just likes longer hair better, but he couldn’t convince them to keep it :) Anna wanted to donate her hair, and it will be borderline if they can use it or not, it is just at 8 in, and that is the requirement for Beautiful Lengths, so we will send it in anyway.
Here they are with long hair
and as soon as we were done with haircuts, we ran over to Willow Bend mall for a picture with Santa! Here they are with the new ‘do!
They both look so grown up to me!
The Santa picture was pretty funny – Ava only likes Santa from afar. She will wave and get excited and want to see him, but come within a 3 foot radius of the big man, and she freaks out. Anna and McKenna have no issues with him and ran right up and started talking to him. Santa was great and talked to the girls and then told me ‘Mom, it is fine, I will take a screaming kid photo. Lets just get these two next to me, you put Ava on my lap and back out of the photo.’ He really did know Ava’s name – they take your names while waiting in line and then go tell Santa before you come up – the girls thought that was wonderful - Anna did figure out how they did and she just explained to me while I was writing this! So I was all set to do just that, and we did, but Ava was squirming all over the place so her dress was riding up, and that was not the picture I wanted. I was trying to fix her dress and the helper elf, came over and gave Ava the snow globe she is holding. It was obviously a magic snow globe, because she took it and then it was all smiles! I don’t know how it worked, but it did and I got the awesome picture above! Yes, Anna and McKenna are in pajamas (it was pj day at school), but I think it is a a great photo. I said something to the helper elf that the snow globe was a pretty good trick, so McKenna proceeded to run back to Santa and whisper in his ear ‘You have some pretty good tricks!’, then run laughing back to me. Ava now says she likes Santa, so hopefully next year there won’t be a need for a magic snow globe.
