Rapunzel Loses Her Hair

Our little girls love stories and lately have been into a book about a girl named Rapunzel. In case you haven't read the book, it's about a girl locked high in a tower and her hair is so long that she lets it down out of the window to let the prince climb up to visit her.

Anyways, Emily likes to pretend she is Rapunzel because she has long golden hair like the fabled girl in the story. Well at least she used to. Tuesday of this week she turned 3 years old, and the very next day she got her first real hair cut since she was born. This sounds like a long time, but she had beautiful blonde curls that captured everyone's attention that made it really hard.

Another reason we waited so long is because we wanted to let it grow long enough to donate to Locks of Love. They are an organization who provides hair for children suffering from cancer and long-term hair loss.

So without further ado, here are a few shots from her birthday and then some before and after pics of her at the salon!
