My ((Personal)) Top Ten for 2012

I can't believe 2012 is over in just a few more hours. It has been an AMAZING year for our family. When 2012 started I had no idea we would be adopting a baby this year. I had no idea of a lot of things that happened this year. It has been the year of "SURPRISES". I loved 2012 and I can't wait to see what 2013 will have in store for my family.

This style really needs to have the hair pre-curled.I'm not sure you can tell that it is pre-curled in the video, but it totally is.

Days 59-63

Day 59- We love doing a double braids. I'm sure I've said it before, but I don't generally love the side pony, but I can handle it if its low. Tutorial for this one can be found here.

Day 60- My friend at the salon was painting her nails with cute chevron patterns the other day and it made me think about doing them for hair design. So I gave it a go. This was my first attempt. I love it!!!
