I'm not sure if it really counts as a first haircut. At over 3 years old, I'm sure she's had a few by now. Still, it's the first I've taken her to get, so I'm counting it anyway. Plus, it's absolutely too cute not to get a shout-out.
Here's Miss Saidie rockin' the new do:
On New Year's Eve, our church family meets to reflect on the past year and to dedicate all babies and children added to our church during the year. We just made it under the wire with Saidie.
She was decked in a new Chinese dress and her squeaky shoes.
New Year's Day we decided to attempt to make Chinese dumplings. I watched my friend Susan make these a couple of months ago, and I took notes. Susan was amazing. Her mother taught her to make dumplings in China when she was a young girl. Susan grew up and lived most of her life in Liaoning province where Saidie is from.

How fun! My FIL used to make homemade dumplings. Oh, they were the best from anywhere. He moved back to Taiwan but my husband told me how to make them. I tried once. It took forever. Make the dough, make the insides, wrap it up so it will stick together. Mine kept falling apart too! LOL Anyway, we found frozen ones at the chinese market that were super tasty and slightly less expensive than the restaurant ones. That dress she is wearing is super adorable too!
It is always fun to try new recipes! I love the haircut too, she is really cute!
Really love the new hair cut! She looks so pretty in her little blue dress and squeaky shoes. Didn't know if you bought any for her or not! So glad you were able to take her to church on New Year's Eve. Special time! The dumplings looked good--too bad it took so long but glad the kids were able to help!
Saidie looks like she is loving her new family! She and Maimie look so cute together!
In Christian Love,

Good for you on the dumplings!! I want to learn!! The squeaky shoes need a story. :) I heard them but did not realize they were shoes!! No sneaking off for that little one... now that we know who they belong to. So much fun!!
Love,
