locks of love, so proud of my daughter

my mother is a breast cancer survivor. i am so proud of how she delt with the whole thing, from chemo to radiation. it made a hugh impact on my daughter and she has grown her hair out twice for locks of love. she told her soccer team that if they won the soccer tourny in virgina last weekend she would cut her hair. now her team has never won a tourny, and they are playing up a level from last year. she and several of her friends were going to cut their hair at the end of the school year for locks, but as a little extra incentive for her team, she upped the ante and said she would move up the date. well, they won their first tourny last weekend, and she went on monday to make good on her promise. i am so proud of her, to give back and act on something she feels strongly about. she asked me to document the event. the only thing i don't like about the hair cut is this, it makes her look so much older! argggg! she is so beautiful anyway, now she is beautiful and looks older! here are the pictures.


before pictures


bracing for the first cut and the cutting of the ponytail!


the ponytail befor the cutting starts and after the cutting is finished


here is the final style, at first i think it shocked her and she was a little upset losing all of that hair, but now she loves it, and so does everyone at her school!
