Locks of Love
We've been keeping Mackenzie's haircut under wraps until all of the family got to see her in real life. She wanted to give them a big surprise and it definitely worked.
She's been growing her hair out for over a year and a half for Locks of Love. She has wanted "really long" hair for sometime. I've never really been a fan of hair this long so we made a deal. I'd let her grow it out if she would then donate it to a great cause.
Thanks be to God, we got it to just the right length in time for the summer. She and I both love it. And now some other child will love her for it.

She looks super-cute in her short cut, and congratulations to her on donating all that long hair!
My daughter has been wanting to do the same, but things like a stuck hairbrush that had to be cut out, and other things like that have set her back. At this rate I think it will take her at least 4 more months to make it. It's going to be a Ponytail Summer around here, but hopefully some child will have a new wig for Christmas.
Thanks Barb. I admire your perseverance. There were many tangled tears we pushed through. After each of those moments we'd pull out the ruler and reevaluate how badly she wanted that long hair. She was steadfast - so I had to be.
