Haircut in Aunt Sarah's Kitchen

You may remember that Gwen got a very short, pixie style haircut the fall after we moved to China.  We've been growing it out since then, and although it is still pretty fine and not very thick, it had gotten quite long.  In January this year I started working on growing out some of her bangs, which I had zealously cut too far back into the rest of her hair.  By summer they had grown to the length to fit into ponytails and braids without an extra clip, so about chin length. I really was hoping to trim up the rest of her hair to meet those pieces, but she was loving her long hair.  This week, out of the blue, she announced that she wanted her hair cut like Madelyn's.  After giving her a day to think about it, I jumped at the chance to cut it and hopefully let it thicken up a little.  Aunt Sarah's kitchen became the beauty salon, with Caden looking on.  
The new haircut is nice and neat, and looks SO cute on her!  I love that it makes her look younger.
