The Braces are Off!

Natalie got her braces off a few weeks ago.  This was likely only phase one of two so she'll probably get a second set about the age when wants nothing less, but so it goes!  For now, she is all smiles and loving eating chips, gum and popcorn again!  She slept in curlers the night before so that she'd have lovely locks for her "after" shots at the orthodontist's office.  Mercy.  Where did this kid come from?

 Last shot of her with a silver smile.

 Our orthodontist makes a very big deal

of getting braces off: 

a crown, a goodie bag, a photo.

So fun.  

Look out world!
