Sit Still

Last Friday Gwynn had her first official hair cut. I did some research and found a cute little children's salon called sit still. I made Gwynn an appointment and invited Grandma along for the ride. Sit still is an adorable salon with two cute cars for children to have there hair cut in. There is also a flat screen on the wall for the children to watch cartoons during their cut, as well as candy and a mechanical rocking horse. It was a wonderful environment for both myself and Gwynn. It was very clean, modern and sassy. The employees were all so kind and did a wonderful job. Gwynn was so good she sat in a pink car and played with a cute comb and checked out the salon during the process. Grandma video taped the whole event for Charlie and our personal video library. Gwynn decided she wanted a trim with a little bit of sweepy bangs. After she was done with her cut she got some all natural organic hair products to keep up her style and a cute little first hair cut card that included a bag with her locks of hair and a Polaroid taken by the salon of her first sassy style. It was such a fun milestone for Gwynn in her growing up process and the salon really made it wonderful.

We had a great week of playing, play dates, story time and of course Christmas shopping. This weekend we had Charlie's work Christmas party on Friday night. It was very nice this year. It gets better every year because we have made friends within the company. Its nice to have people you get excited about seeing. While mom and dad were away Gwynn played with Grandma at McDonalds and looked at Christmas lights.

On Saturday we went to a tree farm in Sherwood and picked a beautiful nobel. Gwynn was hilarious and very unsure about all the trees and long grass. She was apprehensive to go into the trees to find one. She insisted someone hold her ninty percent of the time. The only time she wanted down was when Charlie was sawing the tree down. As soon as he was done she wanted me to hold her again( which is getting increasingly more difficult with my growing belly). We then decorated the tree as a family and Gwynn of course liked all the tacky ornaments I didn't want to hang. Later in the evening we went to visit santa but the line was so long we thought we would try later in the week. Then it was off to a party at our friends home. We had a great time, the ladies were in one room making candles and having drinks (not me of course) and the gentlemen were in the living room with the babies. There were about twenty people total excluding all the crazy kids. We learned how to make candles and decorated the glass. The candles were all organic soy and don't burn hot. It was really neat and it was good to know that I am not burning any unnatural substances into our atmosphere. In addition if Gwynn touches the wax she won't get burned! On Saturday I had to get up at four to be at a wedding in Vancouver at six thirty. Then when I got home Charlie and Gwynn had been busy working on projects and cleaning for me. It was wonderful. We also made some snicker doodle cookies and did a little more Christmas shopping. This Christmas is going to be so much fun with Gwynn she loves all the pretty lights and decorations. This morning when Gwynn woke up she looked at the tree and said "WOW"..."pretty" and just stared at the tree for a good five minutes while she was waking up. It was a super holiday fun filled weekend and look forward for the many more with all our friends and family!!!
