Appointments, Christmas and Haircuts, OH MY!

So after calling my doctor's office (MYSELF!), I finally have an appointment with the specialist. It is December 15th at 9:00 am, BUT they set me up with some doc named Dr. Viashniv - he's a partner of Dr. Kausaukis. I was kind of aggravated about that at first - they said that Dr. K didn't have any appointments open until the beginning of February. Well, I looked Dr. V up on the web, and he seems to be just as good qualification-wise as Dr. K. He's also a MS Specialist who is involved in research, so I'm OK with seeing him...I guess.

So here are some of the pictures that I promised. We'll start with pictures of the girls' haircuts - Maddie's 3rd and Mackenzie's 1st.

First, this is Maddie after she got her hair cut and styled. She looks like a little woman: *sob*
This is Mackenzie starting out her haircut...not quite sure about what's going on:
I had to post this picture because I thought it was so funny! Chuck, the hair stylist, gave the girls suckers to get them to sit still. As you can tell...it worked: Mackenzie post-haircut with a silly, sticky sucker face:
OK...here come the Christmas decorations. First, this is the landing (taken from the top of the staircase) - you can see the tree out the top window outside - these are only about 1/200th of my snowman collection - I have a ZILLION of them, but can't put most of them out thanks to certain little busy fingers:

The house lit up at night - it really needs more, but I guess it's OK for now:

The house during the day - there are wreaths on all of the windows and over the lights on the garage, but you can't see them all that well in the picture:

Entrance - bottom of stairway:

Entrance - top of stairway:

Our poor Christmas tree - still without its ornaments (well, except for the one in the center of the tree that Maddie likes - it plays peek-a-boo! HA!) The tree itself is actually FAR bigger than it looks in this picture:

So that's it for now. Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
