1st Haircut

We did it!!! Ava went to her little salon today and got her first haircut. She was such a big girl and did such a good job. Daddy was at work so Grandma joined us for the big adventure. We went to a place called Snip-its in Maple Grove. It's a great place that does only kids' hair, and the girl who cut Ava's hair was fantastic. I kept going back and forth as to if I wanted to get it done, or if she really needed it. They didn't cut a ton off, but shaped it so it looks better. They even "styled" it and put a little barrette in when she was done. She got a certificate and a little bag that contained the first "snips" of hair from her first official hair cut.

I tried pigtails on her the other day when I was debating whether or not to get her "wings" cut off.

This would be the hat that she had on today. She got tired of it at the mall and pulled it off. Sometime while I was rummaging through the huge sale bins at Gymboree she pulled the flower off and must have thrown it on the ground. Somebody else now has a cute pink flower barrette. :(

Enjoying the little video that they played for her. The cast members were of course the comb, blow dryer, and scissors.

All done! It looks like she has no hair in front, but it's because she swept it to the side to put in a barrette

There are the "after the haircut" pictures
