Weekend fun and hair fun!

This weekend we had the pleasure of going to a friends baby shower! Addy was super excited to hold and meet the baby. Baby was hungry in this photo and mama was making a bottle!

We had a special mommy and me day and much to my dismay, Santa was already at the Mall! And since it had just opened there was no line and a lovely elf came over to us in the mall and asked if we wanted to visit with Santa. He was really great, spent about 5 minutes talking to Addy who thankfully hasn't thought about what she wants to ask Santa for Christmas. As a bonus, he gave her a big pack of Christmas Tree Marshmallow Peeps (as if we need more candy!).

We took a trip to the local Christmas light display and maze. We typically wouldn't do this until after Thanksgiving but since it was in the 50s, figured that we should take advantage of the nice weather! We got to do the light maze, drive through the displays, watch a stage singing/dancing thing, eat snacks and have a ton of fun!
The kids will be in Jareds sisters wedding in a few weeks so I needed to do a test run of AJ's hair!

We started with cornrows to a puff...
Then added flexirods (48 individual clumps of curls)Slept in them over night for the gel to set.... and VOILA! Defined curl clumps!

I actually like the way the puff looks with it more natural but the flexirods give it more definition and it stays nice longer and actually looks better after a day or two when they have stretched out. We got a special clip to put in her hair for the wedding to cover the band as well!

We also had a playdate recently to test out a new hair product on Ji'Roberts hair... the Nudred..Basically a hunk of foam with holes in it which is said to produce teeny finger coils quickly and effectively.

He wasn't thrilled with it the first day but then asked for it to be done again the next day and loved it!

Here is my sweet little boy... with his finger stuck in a pretend otoscope.... nice....
