New hairdo

I decided I had finally had enough wrestling around to get the tangles out of Kara's hair every day. She didn't like to have ANYTHING done to it. This weekend I did something about it. Here are before and after pictures from Kara's biggest haircut yet.

Before from the front:

Shelli doing the duty! Thank goodness she is so patient and has so much experience with little ones!

After from behind:


After from the front. Kara really enjoyed playing at Shelli's after the "beauty shop" was done. She ran and played with all the dogs. And the best part of that was it gave her hair a chance to fall where it normally would so we could get her bangs just right!

Santa brought Kara her very own camera for Christmas. I finally took the time the other day to upload the 100+ pictures she had taken with it. I was very interested in what I found. I just find it neat to see the world from her perspective. She did take a lot of Christmas morning pics that had half faces, up the nose shots, and butts (dog, Cousin Kenny, Cousin Landen). These were some of the most interesting to me.

Here is a self portrait. The set up of the camera makes it very easy for her to turn it around and take pics of herself because the button is on the front rather than the top of the camera.





This is her Diego train that she was so happy to get. I wasn't surprised to see several pictures of it pop up when the pictures came up on the computer.




She had her camera in the bank one day, all the pics from that are angled upward. I guess that is where all the important stuff is when you are her height.

Christmas breakfast. While she didn't eat much of it, she obviously found it exciting enough to photograph.
