Minor Victory in the Great Hair Battle

Speaking of things that don't happen very often....

sometimes Annalee will let me do her hair. Like, maybe once a month. I think this is the most intricate thing I've ever tried.

It's been a while since she's worn this dress. I was afraid she would have outgrown it, but it actually fits her better now than it did when she was three. (That's the age I wore it when my mom made it for me for my Aunt Pepper's wedding.) She finally has a wide enough torso to fit the bodice.

I love having this beautiful treasure from my childhood! Before too long it will go back into a closet to wait for Annalee's daughter someday.

Just Mom said...: WOW!!! Looks awesome. Impressed she held still that long and left them in long enough to photograph! And it is pretty cool to have the dress, made it through a second generation!!!; November 19, 2012 at 2:39 PM

Who Are We?

We are a crazy-fun family and we're happy as long as we're together.

We say "Yea" to: dogs that don't shed, fantasy books, a clean kitchen, Dr. Mario, casual athletic activities, Love and Logic, capitalism, Sobe, singing in the shower, Hispanic food, time-outs (for kids and parents), cloth diapers, coupons, Jack-in-the-Box, Taco Time, Texas Roadhouse, Olive Garden, genealogy, seeing our extended family often, children who sleep in their own rooms, holding hands, on-line computer games, garage sales, Sunday dinners, love letters, home improvement projects, making a job go faster by doing it together, (appropriate) PDA, the annual BYU-I Halloween Concert, riding bikes, adoption, the temple, and Star Wars.

We say "Nay" to: government-run health care, putting each other down, nuts in baked goods, lawn flamingos and garden gnomes, cable tv, landline phone service, watching football or nearly any other sport (yawn), ridiculous email forwards that you know couldn't possibly be true, quack grass, dandelions, not cleaning up after your dog, gossip, allergies, and saving people (or companies) from the consequences of their own choices.

We agree to disagree on: illegal immigration, cheese, the right way to load the dishwasher, Japanimation, the proper length of a good haircut, cheesecake, the temperature, whether we should bring the dog camping next time, the color pink, whether a glass of chocolate milk counts as breakfast, Chuck-a-Rama, vitamins, and which of us is more fortunate to have found the other.
