a haircut and a holiday

 last weekend we finally did it, we got up the nerve to cut Henry’s hair. I couldn’t cut it myself, one I was too scared, two, it was so uneven and unruly that I didn’t even know where to start. So we had my sweet hairdresser do it.

here’s a before:

pretty wild. everything went pretty smoothly at first. Mckay sort of had him distracted for the first few minutes. but once the clippers came out this happened:

kind of sad. but the trauma didn’t last long. and he was rewarded with his first ever delightful taste of sucker.

and the end result, I love. I can’t get over how handsome he looks. it does make me a little sad, he doesn’t look like a baby anymore.

and his haircut was just in time for Easter! Am I a bad mother that I didn’t do an Easter egg hunt for Henry? I mean he’s only 14 months old and can’t even walk yet. oh well. I didn’t go too crazy with his basket, just a few books and eggs filled with bunny grahams and goldfish, things we may have already had around the house…but everything’s more fun in a colorful plastic egg right?

Henry took his Easter morning pretty seriously.

of course everything had to be tested by mouth first.

 

My boys looked so handsome in their church clothes.

                  

After Church and a wonderful Easter Sunday nap we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Rytting’s for a big family feast. It was so fun to see and catch up with lots of the cousins. What a good day spent with family and remembering the sacrifice and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter is truly one of my favorite holidays.
