Pierced Ears

Aubrey's birthday gift from us this year was getting her ears pierced. We talked about it last year, but she was too scared. This year, she was ready! Her friend, Abby, and her mom came with us, and the girls both got their ears pierced.  They were both nervous, so it was good that they did it together. I'm not sure either would have been brave enough alone. Aubrey went first. She chose her birthstone--amethyst--for her earrings. She was nervous but brave. Her eyes watered, and she looked a little stunned immediately after, but she recovered quickly once she looked in a mirror. 

Before:

Aubrey's are done!

After! Both girls done!
