Haircuts and Fancy Desserts

We recently gave Tober a much-needed haircut, and Heather put him in my "Haircut Umbrella" which, on a toddler, looks more like a futuristic dress of some sort:


While we're on the subject of haircuts, Heather donated another Lock of Love in March. Here's the before and after:


Heather is very good at growing hair quickly to donate to chemo patients, but she is AMAZING at making fancy desserts. A couple of weeks ago we had a combined birthday party for her sister, Marci, and Marci's husband Dan. Heather had never made cream puffs before, but she decided to give it a shot. Even though it was her first attempt, she decided to step it up a notch or ten and we were treated to cream puff swans filled with custard and vanilla bean ice cream (and swimming in a chocolate sauce pond):


She used the leftovers to make a little family of swans for our little family:

I'm way impressed by the swans, Heather! They're so pretty! And I am as always in awe of your hair-growing abilities! It takes me TWO years to grow enough to donate! What's your secret?! :)
