Trip to Baton Rouge, Grandma's Birthday, and a hair cut

Shortly after Claire's birthday, we took a long weekend trip to Baton Rouge to visit family and celebrate my mom's birthday. We drove in late Friday night and decorated the kitchen for Grandma's "surprise" party. When she woke up Saturday morning, she couldn't believe it. We had a yummy breakfast and then hurried out the door for Claire's haircut. It's sad when I have to drive all the way to Baton Rouge to get Claire's haircut, but they don't have any fun kid haircut salons in Birmingham. I've decided that I may start doing it myself, since we were there all of 5 minutes. But Claire did great, and we cut off a couple of inches. When we got back, the surprises continued for Grandma with a yummy ice cream cake and presents. The ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins was adorable. It had miniature cones on top with different flavors, which we all loved. While Grandma & Grandpa went to the LSU game that night (West Virginia - which they won), we went to visit Ma Bessie, Aunt Bob & Uncle Johnny. We had a nice time visiting with family, and were so glad we made the trip.

Time to cut Claire's hair.....she was pretty mesmerized with the TV in front of her and stayed completely still.
