Birthday Presents

Today O. and I went to the mall to get her ears pierced as I mentioned before. O. is now finished with her dance recital. She was pretty excited on our way there but was nervous/scared for what it was going to feel like when the earring goes in. The Claire's employee explained the process and said it would be like a little pinch. She thought she could handle that. Once the first earring went in, O. was a little surprised that the "little pinch" was a more than "little". I think it just surprised her. No tears at least, but just red lobes for the afternoon.


The ears are marked and ready to be pierced.


1...2...3... It's in!!


O. picked out her birthstone, Emerald, for her first pair of earrings.


O. has been wanting roller blades for awhile now. Thanks to Grandma Mary she finally got them.

Congrats on the earrings, O! And happy belated birthday! I was going to make Megan wait 'til she was 10 to get hers pierced, but I was too excited, so we did it for her 8th birthday instead. ;-)

Can't wait to hear of Baby's arrival!
