Oh Boy!

Today, Jordyn, my mom and I went to the mall to get our nails done. This is the first time in forever that I've had a manicure. When I got home, I was playing with Camden. He started to touch my fingernails, then giggle. He has decided that my fingernails are "balls" (his favorite word).

Merry Christmas

For a Hair Worthy Cause...

After a few years of growing her hair out, Jordyn wanted a shorter style. Last night she had 8 inches cut off, which was enough to donate to Pantene's Beautiful Lengths organization. This organization makes free wigs for women who have lost their hair to cancer treatments. Not only did she get a cute do, she is helping someone in need.

Before the big cut!

8 inches exactly!

That's a lot of hair!

A new, improved Jordyn!

Drum Roll Please...the Fenton Tree

Finally, after 3 weeks of having our tree stored in our garage, it is up! Yeah.
