Ears holed

Owa has been begging me to get her ears "holed" since she was three. I held her off for the last four years but finally relented when all she wanted for Christmas was her ears pierced. I figured she was not going to give up on this and now was good timing (between soccer seasons). Ever reluctant Addi wanted to get her ears pierced too, so we set the date for a couple days before Christmas.

I didn't get my ears pierced until I was 22 years old! I was SUCH a tomboy and never even had a desire to pierce my ears. I had returned from my mission and one of my best college girlfriends was getting married. She gave all the bridesmaids a pair of pearl earrings and gave me a pair with the condition that I get my ears pierced, and I did.


All the pictures I have of Addi trying something new her
face looks like this!

And now Addi's turn..... Owa hid behind a rack of earrings
because she was afraid Addi would cry. And she did. But
Not to much. I kept telling her she didn't have to go through
with it but she insisted!
