The Start of Something New....

So many of you who know me know that I am not particularly what they call a "girly girl". Having said that, growing up I always played sports and never really was that interested in having earrings or getting my ears pierced because I never had a chance where I could really keep them in for 6 weeks without having to tape them. So, with that, I never really even thought about having my ears pierced....until I had a little girl. Ella has been begging me for the better part of four years to get her ears pierced. My birthday is about 6 weeks before hers and it was the big 30 and seriously I simply hate being 30! It just feels weird and I just feel so old and plain, so after a few months of consideration I finally decided I would let Ella pierce her ears for her birthday and since it was a big one for me I thought it would be special if we did it together. So for her birthday (actually May 4th, the day before, because her birthday was on a Sunday) we got our ears pierced!
Here we are before........

 Waiting in the chair....she was excited and wanted to go first! She was super brave! I was more nervous than her!

 Here she is after! She did awesome and was SOOOOO excited!

 We did it! We are whole new girlies and it didn't hurt one bit!

 It is a fun mother/daughter memory I hope we never forget!
