Pierced Ears!

I know, lots of updates today. Bear with me, it was a big weekend.

It's a right of passage to get your ears pierced when you turn 8 in our family. I did it, Alyssa's done it, and now Halle has joined our exclusive club.
Getting the ears ready for the holes.

Ready or not, here we go.

"It stings! It stings!" But not one tear! What a brave kid.

All done! Thanks Aunt Mimi.

Feeling like a new person with her beautiful earrings. Doesn't she look so grown up now?

You have had a big weekend! And that spa party looks like so much fun. Love the hair dos.

My girls both got thier ears done when they were three. But their ears are so sensitive, it's hard to find earrings that won't irritate them.

I would recognize those sinks anywhere. You must have gone to Carlisle bueaty to get her ears peirced. I used to work there when I lived in I.F. My almost eight year old still hasn't gotten brave enough to get it done.

I am so glad that 'pierced ear day' finally came. I hope that it was worth the wait. You look beautiful, Halle.

Carter looks like he enjoyed watching his sister go through that. :)

How fun! I loved reading every word and getting to know her better....and I ALWAYS love a birth story! You are so creative with those parties! Can I hire you?

Happy Birthday Halle.

Look at that Carter watching with intent in the background! lol...oh, what a "very experienced with women" young man he will become! He's got no chance with two older sisters, and one beneath him. His wife will be very glad that he "gets her", that she loves her pretty, pretty earrings.

Congratulations Halle! I couldn't bare to do it until I was 18! 18 I say! You beat me by ten years, AND you belong to THEE best club, the "I got my ears pierced when I was eight with your mom and sister" club. Cool. Congrats Halle, and good job on being so brave.

8 is the PERFECT age to pierce a girls ears---shows she's ready to start making decisions for herself :)!

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HALLE'!

(We've been on vacation or I would have posted that sooner!!!)

Wow! Nice job Halle! My sweet one is still way too frightened of the potential pain involved. :) Who knows --- maybe she'll settle for "clip-ons" the rest of her life!!

How fun! I think 8 is when I'll let Emma get her ears pierced. She was asking me just the other day if she could have earrings. Boy, was I tempted, but she has no idea what she's asking for. So. . .I'll have to wait!

She looks great with her new earrings! Aunt Mimi looks cute too!! How fun to have her aunty do it for her.
