I haven't wanted to cut Izzy's beautiful hair.  I'm chicken and I just think it's so pretty.  It's a pain to comb and brush every day, but so pretty when it's done.  Phil's always on me to get her hair cut.  I've been putting it off. 

Here's Izzy on Friday at our party.  She is an odd duck sometimes, but here's her hair...

Tonight, I came downstairs with her hotdog and pear for dinner and SHE CUT HER OWN HAIR!!!  I was beside myself.  I tried to finish it off, but ahhhhhhh.  Grandma's going to have to clean up her mess when we see her next.

Here's me attempting to fix it so it's all the same length.

Here's the finished cut. 

When we found her she only said, "At least I got a haircut!!!  Hahahahahaha."  Yes, she laughed like crazy.

Brad and AnneMarie, Phil's brother and sister in-law came in to town for a short, but fun visit!  Friday, we went to Snoqualmie Falls!  We like to do one touristy thing while they're here and this was probably the least crowded!

Izzy had fun running from Uncle Brad!

After the falls we went to the Snoqualmie tap room and had lunch.  Then we thought Izzy would nap a long time.  She did a little so we drove up through the mountains to Cle Elum where Phil and I go camping a lot!  We got some meat from Owen's Meats.  The chicken and tri-tip was super delish for dinner that night!!!

Saturday AnneMarie, Phil, Brad and I met up with a co-worker, Angie and went to the Urban Craft Fair Uprising.  There were several cool finds, but some were way overpriced...oh well.  Phil loved the people watching, but was happy when we went to lunch.  Saturday night we went to The Day's for the family Christmas.  It actually dusted with snow!  We exchanged gifts and all got snazzy stuff!  Izzy loved her lambchops puppet (yes, that lambchop!) and all her outfits!  Joe and Sara came up and we all had dinner together!

Sunday we had a down day and just hung out for a while at our place.  It was so nice to be in the new house during the chaotic time!  It was a lot of fun. 

Uncle Brad & Auntie AnneMarie!

Today, in the mail, this laminated card came with the weekend's paper in it.  It's from Springfield, IL and came with a note that read, "We don't know each other.....I live in Springfield, IL and I enjoy sending cards, etc. to people featured in the paper who are celebrating a milestone, with the hope of brightening someone's day as I take my own journey through life......I hope this small effort of mine has helped to brighten your day....."

Yes, it did brighten our day!  Thanks random stranger.

p.s. Phil did tell the reporter Workers' Comp, not Workman's comp...
