About this time last year, Vinny decided she wanted to cut her hair and donate it to LOCKS OF LOVE. If you are not familiar with LOCKS OF LOVE, it is a non-profit organization that makes wigs out of donated hair for children who have lost their to cancer and it's treatment. In order to donate, you must have at least 10 inches of hair to cut off in a pony tail to send in. So, last year, Vinny had the 10 inches but it would have made her hair very short and she wanted to have long hair for her First Communion. When we trimmed her hair for school this year, she did not mention it so neither did I. I like her long hair, I think it sets her apart even though I think it is an amazing program.
So, today we went to get the kids hair cut and Vinny decided it was time to give it another measure. At first, Cindy, the hairdresser, told Vinny it would be up around her jaw and she said, go for it. Here she is getting the measurement...
And here is the first big cut..
And the next big cut...
And here she is right after..
So, as you can see, it turned out that her hair was to her shoulder, but not for long. Here she is when we were all done...
That is her pony tail she is holding. Doesn't she look adorable? The good news is she loves it. Here are some more photos...
The cute view from the side..
The boys also got their hair cut, not short, just some layers for Mitchell and a trim for Patrick.
Patrick is now very proud to be the family member with the longest hair. At this rate, it won't be long before Patrick will be able to donate 10 inches of hair to LOCKS OF LOVE.
