Gabby has wanted to have a significantly shorter hair cut for quite some time, however I haven't been too keen on the idea. She has lovely, beautiful, long curly hair that, honestly, Mama could not part with. Yet this same hair could also cause much hassle. We came across an organization called Pantene Beautiful Lengths that has partnered with the American Cancer Society and donates real hair wigs to those in need. Pantene Beautiful Lengths only required 8 inches of hair opposed to some other organizations that required 10 inches. I was more comfortable with this since Gabby could still continue to get her hair in a bun for her ballet classes. Here is a photo chronicle of Saturday when she got her hair cut and donated it.

The first cut!
Carole the hairdresser actually cut 9 inches due to some split ends.
Second cut...
All gone! Daddy was in the background recording it all on his smart phone. You can't see Gabby's face in this picture but she was giddy with delight over the whole thing.
