Allison's First Hair cut!!!

I have been thinking about getting her hair cut for some time but I finally got the courage to do it. Lauren has been asking to get hers cut for awhile now also. So we went! Allison in her true fashion was soooo excited to be going and getting her hair cut...till we got there! She didn't want to sit in the chair and didn't want to get it cut. She just kept saying NO NO NO! So the lady said well try holding her and see if that helps. Of course it did and she was fine. She watched a movie and didn't fuss again. But since I was holding her I didn't get to take any pictures of her getting it cut. The lady said she thinks her hair is going to be really thick. I told her I sure hope so because it doesnt seem like Lauren's is going to thicken up. They were both so adorable after they got done and got their glitter and smell good in their hair. They ran up and down the run way. By the time we were leaving Allison was telling everyone thank you and bye! This girl is going to be something else!!

Lauren looks so much older now!! She loves it though. My little girl is growing up!

In other things going on around here we are all ready for Christmas!! Lauren has been sick on and off but the doctor thinks it is just some random thing. Allison is really talking so much more now! She is also very opionated! She picked out 3 outfits the other day and didn't really want to put any of them on! I hope we both make it through these terrible twos!!!!!

Already saw Santa!

Yep! We have already went and saw Santa and it is not even Thanksgiving! I figured it was be a much shorter line and Jon wanted to go and was able to this past weekend so we went! Problem was on the bass pro website it said santa was there 7 days a week. NO WHERe did it say he wasnt going to get there until noon! We got there at 10:30! Jon is not used to being with the Girls that much and certainly not taking them in a store so he was kinda freaking out! So we did play for a little bit but then Jon wanted to go home until noon. We came back and just had a wait a little bit. Allison was NOT going to sit on his lap. I didn't expect her to but I wanted her in the pic so Jon held her. At first she wouldnt look at the camera and then he said I will get you a piece of candy and then she turned and smiled! Lauren told Santa what she wanted: Fiji friend and ice cream maker...only because she had just saw the commerical for the ice cream maker. Then yesterday she says she wants an American Girl doll and accessories and matching clothes and for me to email Santa if I can! Thank goodness this morning she said it was ok to wait till her birthday for those. It is so cute to see them all excited about it.

Allison is coming into her terrible twos something awful!! On Sunday while I was trying to get her dressed she would not listen to me and she put her hands over her ears and looked at me and just smiled! She is a mess!!!

Lauren!

Allison turns 2!!!

Allison turned 2 yesterday! We had a princess themed party since she loves anything and everything that is pretty and sparkly! I made the cake and some cookies. I had Jon hang some balloons for her to wake up to. She loveed them! We got her a bitty baby twin and I have been so excited to give it to her so I let her open it up shortly after we woke up. She loves her! I was a little afraid at first because she pulled her out and was all excited and then put her back in the bag!! But we also got her a stroller and that is a huge hit! She has carried her pretty much everywhere once she started playing with everything. She even took her outside and took her shoes off to bounce in the bouncy house. It was so cute! Now that Allison is playing with the doll and fixing its hair and changing it clothes now Lauren wants to do the same. She had a great birthday and great party! They have both been checking out all the new toys! Allison is very slow at opening up everything. Once she opens it she wants to play with it right then!
