Earrings for Mal and Al

Mallory decided to get her ears pierced because Allie was going to. She had been saying she didn't want them but I thought (mothers intuition and all that she was just scared of the ouch factor). My mom's birthday gift to the girls when they were turning 8 was getting their ears done if they wanted. So with Allie wanting hers done it was enough to give Mal the confidence she needed. The following is the sequence of events.....

Mal surviving the pain, although she did look as if she were ready to bolt at any moment


the finished product....



Getting instructions and a good shot of all the girls. We were sadly missing Jess and Anna. If you guys were here would Anna have earrings now?


After the ordeal was over. Aunt Kim took us out for Ice cream. It certainly helped Mallory forget the ouch and enjoy herself with her sister and cousin. Good idea Kim!


I thought Mal looked cute...


The cousins goofing around.

What a fun night to remember.

Mallory, I thought you were passing up this 'trial of passage'? I'm proud of you for your courage, I remember when I had mine done and I was ALOT older than you. I liked the dress you were wearing, too :).
Love ya, Nona
