2 New Holes

When a teenage asks you to do something fun, never respond with, "if you can come up with something then we will do it",  or the next thing you know, you are taking your "baby" to get her ears pierced.  Yep,  that is exactly what happened to us. 

While Ryan was away on a camping trip with Hayden, the girls went to the mall and made memories upon Alyssa's suggestion.  Brianna was thrilled to be getting her ears pierced and handled the whole thing pretty well.  She was somewhat jumpy when it came time to do her second hole, but she was a trouper.  Afterwards,  we spent a long long time in the store picking out fun earrings for future wearing. 

I wasn't with Alyssa when she got her ears pierced, (Her Aunt Del in Ohio took her to get them done), so it was kind of fun to be a part of it.  Brianna has been vigilant about cleaning her ears and she loves to show them off.  She is so excited.

Doing the second hole. Not so exciting as the first one. But it had to be done . .

We are trying to muster a smile here.  I think she was in a little pain but trying to be brave.

The first cleaning.  She is so excited as you can see.

Finally a few days later and much more thrilled with the end result.  Plus we got a new haircut. . . side bangs, it is all the rage.  So here is my beautiful, grown-up girl.
