Allie's Turn!

So our family rule is that you have to be 8 to get your ears pierced but over the weekend we made a small adjustment to that rule.  The rule is that if you want mom & dad to pay for it you have to be 8 but if you save your own money you can get them pierced when you want.  Well Allie had saved all of her birthday money and chore money and had more then enough to pay for it herself.  So after a  little persuasion from dad I gave in.  I asked Morgan if she would mind if Allie didn't wait until she was 8 and she exclaimed, "Let her pierce her ears so we can share earrings!".  So while Grandma Adams, Uncle Mike and Aunt Amanda were staying with us we finally took her to get her ears pierced.  I was a little nervous and couldn't quite decide if we made the right decision but there was no way she was gonna let me go back on it now.

Here are her cute little girl ears

She was a little nervous so she wanted a hand to hold but I had to be the photographer

So Dad's hand worked just as well

Marking just the right spot

And CLICK

She did say that it didn't hurt that bad and never dropped a single tear.  She was so excited to finally get her ears pierced.

 

Here are her beautiful grown-up ears and of course a smile that stretched between the two.
