Good Things Come in PAIRS

Drum roll please. Our dearest little kindergartner Kennedy just got glasses, and she couldn't be happier about the whole thing. She loves being just like her big sister McKinley and having a new fashion accessory to enjoy (being able to see is only an added bonus - it's all about the fashion). Now we'll just wait and see how long the excitement lasts!

Over the last few months we had been noticing that Kennedy couldn't see the TV from the couch when we would be playing Mario Kart as a family or watching a movie.  We made her an appointment at the eye doctor and low and behold....her eyesight is almost the same as McKinley's (who is on her second prescription of lenses.)  McKinley didn't need glasses until 2nd grade, but Kennedy just had to beat her sister and get a head start.  I'm sure glad I had LASIK last year, so we only have to worry about having two girls in glasses for now!

Our good friend Craig Hope owns an eyeglass shop and Kennedy got to pick out two pairs. Then he was nice enough to even bring the glasses to our house and adjust them to her cute little face. What service...and two different fun colors!

Lovely Pair #1 (Purple)

Lovely Pair #2 - (pink)

Along with Kennedy's new specs, McKinley got a stylish new purple & blue pair too....


And of course, not to be outdone....Maddox got a pair of sunglasses (courtesy of the dollar section at Target), and he didn't even notice they weren't just like the girls' prescription glasses for over a week (when he all of a sudden looked down at his and said, "hey, these are black inside!") Very observant!


So here are our four-eyed beauties.  We're very glad they can see!

Love how excited they are about this accessory! (-my girls have asked on occasion how they could get glasses... so stylish:) Cute, cute girls- and McKinley sure looks a lot like her darling mother!

They really are adorable, Devon. Addy would be jealous. She really wants glasses (but fortunately, or unfortunately, depends on who you talk to) she just doesn't need them.
