Outdoor Tree Decorating

Now that Thanksgiving is over, we have free rein to decorate for Christmas and enjoy the holiday music and lights.  Allison wanted to help grandpa decorate his outdoor trees, but she needed a little help reaching the branches.  She wanted to pick the ornament colors each time.  She especially liked the smooth ornaments and how they felt against her face.  She has been asking to put up the Christmas tree for months, so I think she will be happy to decorate our house once we get back home.

 

Holiday Haircut

We decided it was time for another haircut.  Allison's hair grows so fast!  She hadn't had a haircut in a long time and I thought it would be cute for her to have the bob that she had last year.  I took a Tootsie Pop along because I know that suckers help her focus and listen to the stylist better.  She paid a lot more attention to what was going on this time.  She watched the lady cutting her hair and even got upset about it a few times as she watched it fall to the floor.  Now I'm hoping she doesn't take the scissors to her own hair one day soon.  She even had her hair fixed for the first time with a flat iron.  She thought it was weird that it made her hair feel hot.  She would touch her hair and make a face.  I'm still trying to decide what her hair is supposed to look like.  The stylist cut all kinds of layers in, so we'll see what it looks like after a bath.
