Weekend fun with friends + Clare's first haircut

The Rosellis came down from Bellingham on Saturday.
Xander and Lexi played for hours in the back yard.


Pals.


I love that Xander let Lexi wear one of his precious work gloves.
Pretty sure no one else has ever been allowed.


Pizza on the patio.


Alyssa loves her big sister.






Next we headed to a backyard shindig at Dom and Jessica's.
(No beer was consumed [by Luke, anyway] in the taking of this photo. Heh.)

Have you ever eaten a pig cooked in a Cajun microwave?
Neither had we, until Saturday.


Clare loved Ben's new outdoor play toys.


No fear with this girl.


Luke in his jammies, ready for bed.


I took Clare to get her first haircut this morning. She tricked me into thinking she might sit in one of the cars. The lollipop helped get her there...


Then she decided she liked this car better.


In the end, she sat on my lap. Here's the finished product. So cute!


I'm still resisting bangs, but they trimmed her little wispies, which look exactly like bangs now. It's funny how this little area of her hair just won't grow.


A view of the back side, for the grandmas who will need this much detail. Hee.


She likes it!


Is this the same girl who won't let Mama put any bows in her hair?
