The pain in beauty

When I went back east to visit with my family we decided to do some fun things. Since it was such a heavy thing that we were dealing with with our mom, we had to do something to lighten the situation. When we weren't with mom we spent time playing Wii games, talking and shopping. The last day I was there (Monday) we decided last minute to take the girls to the mall to get their ears pierced. Gavyn (my sister Allie's daughter) is only a few months younger then Claire.

The girls were both happy until the moment of truth.

The look of terror.

The look of sheer pain.

Claire admiring herself and her new "pretties".
Uncle Matt and Aunt Dana treated the girls to ice cream.
Ice cream makes everything better! :)
In the end it was worth it. And they both smiled again. It was a weekend worth remembering! :)

aww!
they're beautiful!

i can't wait (nor can Ash) for the day when she gets to get hers pierced! such a girly fun thing to do.

we're gonna wait until she can make a mature decision about it though, and take care of them on her own...

but yes, at certain times i've wished we had done it... it's so cute! :)
