Another First!
Annalee got her first "real" haircut today. She has been growing her hair for over 4 years. When she came home from China in '04 her head had been shaved. We have been letting her hair grow ever since she came home. She has had trims mind you, an inch here, an inch there... this one was for REAL! About six months ago I told Annalee about Locks of Love, for hair donation to sick children. Well she was so enthusiastic, she has been talking about the day she would cut her hair. You need to have 10 inches of hair that is cut in order to send it in for donation. Annalee wanted to be Jasmine for Halloween, so we decided that she should keep her hair long for Halloween and then cut it after that. Annalee had 11 inches cut off today, and we sent it to Locks of Love. She is so proud... she did not even tear up once during the whole thing... the same can not be said for mommy! Her hair cut is so cute!!! She looks about 2-3 years older. I will post pictures soon.

Tooth Fairies and Princesses
Well, it happened!
The tooth fairy visited last night. Annalee lost her first tooth. It had been loose for about 2 months now. She has had the permanent teeth (2) coming in for a month or so. She has looked a little bit like a shark - too cute! The tooth fairy left her a very special surprise (since it was the first tooth) the tooth fairy wrote her a letter and sprinkled her, and her bed with "Fairy" dust - (more commonly know as glitter!) She was just astonished this morning when she woke up, oh my goodness - the joys of childhood. I so love being her mom! Every day is a new adventure. We feel so blessed to be her parents - Thank You God, for Annalee.
Halloween was a couple of days ago, we had a blast - Annalee was dressed up as Princess Jasmine - she was pretty cute (if I do say so myself). We were invited to a party up the street, there were about 80 people there and a good time was had by all. The trick or treating ensued with all the little ghosts, goblins, superhero's and princess' running wild! it was so much fun. We travelled around the neighborhood in golf carts, scooters and wagons. It was hysterical to see the frenzy of joyous kids! I will have to post a couple of pictures soon.
