I had a plan of making Christmas cookies today, but were blessed with tons of sweets from two of JD's sisters last night. We are having far more variety than I've ever made in my life!
And lo and behold, Aunt Cyndi whipped up a fresh gingerbread house for the kids. We had a debate about eating it, but honored Aunt Cyndi's wishes and let the kids eat it after lunch today. It was so cute!
Elijah choose a gingerbread man from the front.
The house is now just a bare shell. It makes me kind of sad, but the kids sure enjoyed themselves; I guess that's what it really is about. Thank you Aunt Bonnie and Aunt Cyndi!

I've been thinking about putting Christiana's into locs once it grows in too. I have lots of questions about it and wonder how it really looks in person. I wondered if it was an acceptable hair style for little girls. Lots to think about.
ReplyDeleteHer hair looks beautiful, but at what cost to you and her? I was reading an article the other day about African American women and hair and how the standard for long, straight hair has been forced on them and they go through hours and tons of money and pain to try to get this long standard. In the end of the article, there were a couple woman who wanted to show their daughters that they didn't have to have all this pain to have beautiful hair. So they cut their hair and have gone natural. It might be something to look into. The braids are cute, but are they worth it?
