A new look with love


So today was a big day for Emilee. She's been growing her hair to donate to a children's cancer charity for about two years. And it was finally long enough to cut...


~BEFORE~


~AT THE SALON~

~BYE BYE PONYTAIL~

~SOOOOO CUTE~

~AFTER...ALL SMILES~




Emilee's hair will be donated to Pantene Beautiful Lengths, which is an organization like the more well known Locks of Love. The nice thing about PBL is that they take hair starting at 8" in length, where LOL has a minimum of 10"...and Emilee has been stuck at about 9" for a while so PBL works out for her! If anyone else is interested in donating like Emilee did, here are the links to their sites.

It was a neat surprise when we were at the salon too...the stylist who cut Emilee's hair has a daughter who is a cancer survivor and received a wig from Locks of Love. She was very kind and encouraging to Emilee, telling her what a special girl she was and letting her know just how wonderful her donation is to girls like her daughter.


WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU, EMILEE! Love, Daddy and Mommy
