Haircut/Dentist

We got Leah's hair cut (again) on Monday evening!  She only got a little cut the first time and she didn't like that it still hurt when her hair got all tangled and we had to brush it out, so she wanted to get it cut shorter!  I have to say...I was hesitant to get their hair cut at all in the beginning, but I LOVE this haircut!  I think she looks so cute...although to me she looks a lot older which is a bit sad!

Yesterday, the girls had a dentist appointment (right before dance...hence the outfit)!  Leah did great.  She jumped right up in the chair and was ready to go.  She cried for a couple seconds when they were brushing her teeth, but otherwise was a champ!  Bella on the other hand...ugh...she screamed bloody murder from the time Leah got in the chair until we were done with the appointment...no exaggeration!  When it was her turn to get in the chair she clamped her hand over her mouth and screamed and screamed.  I had to pry her hands off and they had to practically pry her mouth open to get the toothbrush in there.  It was NUTS.  I have no idea why she was so scared, but wow...it was quite an appointment.  I am sure they were not sad when we were ready to go!  Good news though...no cavities and both of their jaws have set in place after getting rid of the pacifiers...so as of now...it doesn't seem like we have braces in the future (although that could always change I guess).

We got a little snack at the YMCA before dance class...Love her hair :)

Fun weekend

A sample if just a few of the fun things we did this long thanksgiving weekend!!

Wednesday we went to the YMCA and it was snowing a little so the girls wanted to take their umbrella!

Thanksgiving morning, Isabella wanted me to do her nails (which is pretty much her request EVERY day)

Daddy and the girls at Grandma's for Thanksgiving

The kids at Thanksgiving dinner

Bella wanted to take a picture of us first thing in the morning Friday

Back at the YMCA on Friday playing on the outside equiptment

Friday night PJ party

Saturday I took the girls to the cheap movie theater to see Dispicable Me 2

Sunday we decorated the Christmas Tree!!!

We started the decorating with a little hot chocolate

Leah's view of Christmas decorating...think she needs a few lessons on keeping the camera still!



Isabella's view of the decorating...a little less blury but still needs a little help.

Isabella is such a goof!!!

They have been talking about putting the star up for weeks!!  So, we let them try...

The finished product

As I left for work this morning...Isabella insisted on me taking a picture of her infront of the tree before I left!

Daddy

I've been a little sick the last few days and don't have much of a voice, so Cesar took over storytime last night.  Love times like this when they hang all over their daddy!! *Excuse the clothes hanging out of their drawers...they pick out their own PJs now and this is what those drawers look like every night after they go through EACH pair deciding what to wear!

First haircut

On Saturday, the girls and I went to aunt Deanna's for the day and had a blast!!  Then, we went straight to the mall to play and hang out (Isabella has a sudden obsession wiht Barnes and Noble and insists we go there every chance we get).  As we were playing, I started talking to Cesar about cutting the girls hair.  Their hair was so damaged and straggly, so we decided to just suck it up and do it right then.  They have been TERRIFIED to have their hair cut, so I was pleasantly surprised when Leah was really brave and said she would go first!  Isabella on the other hand, cried LITERALLY the entire time Leah got hers cut...which took almost 30 minutes because the girl had to get ALL the tangles out of their hair which took FOREVER!  Anyway, at the end of it, they both got good haircuts!  Isabellas had a lot more damage, so she got hers shorter...which everyone but me seems to like because it makes them a little different.  It makes me sad to see them so different, but, I guess it is a good thing :)
