My Big Girl!

Abigail and Annalie got their ears pierced over the Holidays. You could tell Addison was impressed, though she never said much about it. Mike and I asked her if she would ever like to get her ears pierced, and her answer was (the typical) "no, not yet". We left it alone, as we weren't in any real hurry to pierce her ears, anyway.

So, yesterday we were at the mall and she asked us if she could get her ears pierced. We kind of said "maybe" and kept moving along... she asked again and again. In a very polite way, might I add... there was no whining or begging. So we explained to her that once they were pierced that the earrings couldn't come out and that it was a very big girl decision to be making. She understood and marched right up into the chair and GOT HER EARS PIERCED!

Here she is right before:

And during:(she chose pink diamonds, of course)

She really didn't know what she was getting herself into, so we don't really have a great after shot, since there were some tears involved. Here's one I got in the car on the way home. The tears you see in her eyes have nothing to do with the piercing and everything to do with... oh, I don't remember anymore... drama of some sort.

Not sure the last picture was so great... here are a couple more not so great ones (stupid bad lighting in the bathroom). But she was modeling her earrings, so I can't not post them!


I can't believe she's going to be 4 in a few months. She's so big. And sweet. And smart. And beautiful. And I AM SO PROUD.

Yay Addison!! Elle has been talking more and more about wanting her ears pierced but she knows it will hurt. I am happy to see this... and it looks like they did both ears at once, is that right?! I think that's a must for Elle or she'd walk away with just one! ha ha. Tell Addison she looks beautiful with her new earrings!!

Yes, they did both ears at once. There was NO WAY it would have happened any other way!
