first haircut

today i took ella downtown for her first haircut. she was such a good girl and sat still and was so precious. every now and then she would look around and exclaim "that lady over there and that man over there are getting their hair cut also!"

really, it was just a trim so that the ends are healthy again. and the mullet is gone (even though you can't tell there's a mullet because of the curls.)

i saved some of the hair, of course.

afterwards, ella and i went next door to zumis and got a piece of raspberry crumb cake to share as a special treat.

also, i made brussels sprouts for dinner tonight with a new recipe from c., and both j. and elenora loved them. i am so glad that my family will eat brussels sprouts, because they really are delicious.
