“It's not the hair on your head that matters. It's the kind of hair you have inside.”---Gary Shandling

Now.. i bring you....live from Bagdad....Part Two of our story!

The girls did their service a little bit different because they wanted to donate their hair to "Locks of Love" to go to wigs for kids with cancers, etc.... So we had to braid their hair up, measure to make sure it was at least 10 inches (Sarah just barely made it whereas, Cassidy gave 12 inches of luscious locks), and then cut off the braids to send them in.

I will tell the rest of the story via pictures and clever commentary....

Cassidy wanted to go first... she was really the catalist for the "Locks of Love" idea and she was excited and ready.... (You can see that I still have my normal hair up on my headtop...(just like "Up on the housetop")
Lund runs over to appraise the work and he is thrilled too.. he remarked how pretty she looked immediatley (someday that will be an asset that his wife will love, he is free with his compliments)
After Cassidy runs off for a quick shower, she then convinces her sister that she, herself, should get to cut the braid this time and Sarah was willing to let her have a hand at it...
She got about half way through the braid and decided that it isn't easy to cut that much hair at once, so then mom took over to try to finish up a haircut on her... here she is so proud to hold up her braid.....I then started working on forming a workable haircut.. Here they all are after showering off the stray hairs. We then talked about how good it makes us feel and had a lesson about service, love, and respect for others.... And here is their friend, Jazzlyn, opening up some presents that some of the kids got her at school yesterday. She was happy to be with her peers again, even if just for a moment!!! We Love you Jazzlyn!!!

They went to school yesterday with "mom's haircut" which left much to be desired, but after school my wonderful friend and hairsylist, Felissa, had them come over and fixed them up and now.........here is Sarah right before we left for her school Christmas program last night..

This shows Cassidy in her costume for their Christmas program tonight. She is practicing a curtsy!!!

And here is the back of Cassidy's hair... It has an A-line style that works great for both girls. They look like a million bucks!!!!!! here is Sarah right before school today and this gives you a better view of her haircut (and her chocolate chip pancakes!) And here is the back of Sarah's hair... again a similar A-line style that works great on her!!!
I love my girls and they are such a great example to me of giving freely to others when they need it... even if they just need support and love and a little bit of hair!!!! Aren't kids amazing???!!!!
