simple things

this was a fun and memorable week:
emery's birthday, a new cousin, and a wedding to attend!

 a more simple thing happened that was also very special.
friends of ours gave emery a gift this week.  
  
steph and aaron own a salon in town, and they tell me that 
the new trend for hair, is feathers!
they generously gave emery one for her birthday.
on friday (before the wedding), the girls and i got to spend some time at the salon.
it was so fun watching the girls get pampered, 
and emery loves her new feather:
i was very grateful (and a bit emotional) as i watched aaron 
make the girls feel so special while doing their hair.
he even set aside a pink 'highlight' for selah 
so she would have something new and exciting too.
 thanks to our kind friends, 
my girls and i were all feeling pretty stylish for the wedding!

hope you all had a great weekend,
and took some time to reflect on the simple things in life that make you smile...

Stylish indeed! My mother in law owns her hair salon and those feathers are definitely the trend. Your girls are beautiful!
