March 20th!

It was a big day for the Jones' yesterday. Elyana got her first haircut. I've trimmed her bangs occasionally, but that doesn't count. We went to the Dudes and Divas haircut place that is just for kids. We walked in and praise be! Dora the Explorer was playing right at the station where Ellie was to get her haircut at. She was just drawn to it, walked right over and climbed up into the chair. I don't think she was aware of the haircut half the time. After her haircut, Kayla asked if she could get her haircut just like her sisters. Here are the pictures from that.


Yesterday was also our 10 year wedding anniversary. We went to Jenpachi Japanese Steak House. We've been there before, but it's so fun to watch them do tricks with the knives, spatulas, spinning the eggs, and making a huge flame shoot up from the onion. The food is always incredible. We got totally serenaded by the owner. He said they don't sing Happy Anniversary songs, but he sang us some ancient song about the Himalayan Mountains, because mountains are forever and so should marriage. He would get really loud and then soft and you kept thinking he was done and he would break into another stanza. I wish I had a translator there. Very cool. I got a new dress to wear to dinner so I got some pictures taken of that.


When we got home and were getting the kids to bed, Mikayla's tooth finally fell out! It took forever to settle her down. She put the tooth under her pillow. Nate and I were so afraid we'd forget to play tooth fairy that we put the dollar on our pillow so we'd see it there when we went to bed and remember. Here's a picture of Kayla putting her tooth under her pillow and a picture of her new toothless smile. Our little girl is growing up so fast. By the way, those of you that are family and those of you that don't have kids in school yet, I'll be sending out an e-mail soon---Kayla's doing a read-a-thon for school and could use some donations. Don't worry, she's still just learning to read so she won't empty your bank account : )
