A Haircut & A Birthday Celebration

Last time I wrote, I mentioned that we were in Canada and said that I will post some pics. Well these are not it. I just wanted to share a few pics of James first haircut and Abbie's 3rd b-day. James was overdue for his first haircut and since Dad was going to cut his hair and Micah's, he decided to chop James' curls (sad day for mom). Dad was also tired of people mistaking his little boy for a girl. As for as Abbie's b-day, her only request was for a princess cake. With limited kitchen access and her food allergies, I opted to bake her a box cake omitting the eggs and substituting them with applesauce (don't make that mistake). It did not turn out how I imagined it, but with the help of my hubby in fixing it, my girl was ecstatic. She loved her cake and ate 2 1/2 slices (it was her first cake ever). She also surprised mom & dad and chose a strawberry shortcake doll for a gift (if you know Abbie, she loves what Micah loves...trains and cars). We chose to celebrate her b-day on Friday the 14th instead of the Sunday the 16th (actual b-day). We knew that Sunday would be a busy day for us and wanted to set a special day aside to make it special for her. All in all she had a wonderful weekend celebration, we did not do much but my girl enjoyed her birthday...praise the LORD! Thank you all for the birthday wishes. Enjoy these pics.
