Back to School Prep!

Julia has been asking for a hair cut for a few months now and today was finally the day. She got about 5" cut off. Unfortunately it was not enough to donate but I couldn't go any shorter! Here are a few before and afters of her new 'do!

This afternoon we went to Target to get her school supplies for 1st grade! She had fun picking out all the things on her (long) list.

Charlotte was just excited for her candy!

Julia's also been asking to go eat at Olive Garden all summer so to finish off our Julia Day we went to Olive Garden before we headed home. I think she's all ready for 1st grade now, I just don't know if I am!

Hair Cuts and Tea Parties

I took Julia to get her first "real" hair cut today. She had the ends trimmed for the first time in February, but it was nothing major. Her hair has gotten so long and she hates to have it brushed so we went for a "real" hair cut today. I was doing ok until I looked at how much hair was on the ground!! She does look precious though, just like usual.

After!

Tonight Charlotte and I took her baby doll and had a tea party outside. I've been wanting to do a session like this with her since she and her baby got matching dresses for Christmas but I just haven't gotten around to it. I decided tonight was the perfect time. Charlotte loved it!

She was bouncing and shushing her baby. :)

I think this one might be my favorite! 

And of course one where her personality really shines through!
