Ear Piercing

Here it is. THE BIG DAY!!! FINALLY!!! I told Rachel last year that she could get her ears pierced for her birthday, but Dad just wasn't ready to have his little girl grow up so fast. He still wasn't ready this year either but.....

It turned out to be a great all girls outing with Grandma, Aunt Rebecca, Aunt Sarah, Little Sis (who was extremely jealous) and Mom. Here are a few step by step photos. But we also have a video of the whole event at the end of this post, if you care to watch.

Rachel, not freaking out.

Getting her ears marked so the holes are even.

Holding on for support. And still not freaking out.

One ear down, one more to go.

Getting ready for the next punch.

Whoala! Second ear done and the tears were held in very tightly.

Apparently, blowing on her ears helped them to feel better.
Happy 9th Birthday Rachel!
