This morning we awoke to a white Christmas which is somewhat unusual in this dryland prairie area of Colorado that we live in. It added a sparkle and glitter to an otherwise very cold day (high of 18!). We slept in and enjoyed a late breakfast and made Christmas cookies to give out with the presents.
Kitty was appreciative of being inside and the chickens mainly stayed in their coop except when they let us know they needed their water warmed up and were tired of eating snow.

Later that afternoon we went over to Britton’s family’s house to open presents and then headed over to my grandma’s for ham dinner and a little more gift exchanging.

And as Britton promised in the last post, we have a little Christmas surprise for all of you as well.
Drumroll….
We got chopped! Here we are before:
My long hair (before)
Britton’s hair and November mustache
And after:
The new sleeker us –Britton shaved down and I’m without about 9 inches of hair
What do you think? A good Christmas surprise?
Big changes have been happening a lot lately and we felt compelled to do our part through our appearance. It’s always fun (and a little scary) to try something new. We hope you all had some wonderful surprises and a great time with family and friends. Merry Christmas!
Not everyone can pull a Staham, but Britton just did. He just went from goofy to a guy that you wouldn’t want to mess with. And Cassie? It looks good, but I’ll say no more, because Puerto Rico is a small island and Britton looks pretty big.
Merry Christmas from a random guy who has been reading your blog for a while!
PS. Kitty is adorable. My SO might try to steal it.
Love the hair, er lack there of now! Nice make overs.
Like the new dos. Brit looks manly. Cassie looks lovely. Our son Dave has real short cut like Brits’. Our other two family 40 year old guy son-in-laws are sporting the shaved head look, with facial hair like Britton’s.
We had a fun time with extended family in Long Beach. Grand kids so cute and full of surprises.
Happy New Year — it should be a fun one.
It’s always nice to have a “style.” Love the red lips too! Jeff is happy with the no-fuss close to the head too…
Hey, thanks everyone! It’s fun and we’re starting to get more used to the ‘dos as we go.
Adolfojp, thanks for the nice comment. We love all our friends, even the ‘random’ ones we haven’t met yet! I told Britton he would look like Jason Statham so thanks for confirming! Oh, and I will have to remember to hide Kitty if you ever visit us! ha! 🙂
Happy holidays! Felicidades!
I’m an old lady, so I can say this: You both look HOT HOT HOT! — Fran
