I still remember the burning desire to get my ears pierced as a young girl. Daddy was not convinced and said I had to wait until I was 13. Although it was a very special thing to do when I turned 13 it seemed like FOR-EV-ER!
Kip and I initially told Gillian she had to wait until she was 10, but we surprised her this year by letting her get her ears pierced ON her 8th birthday. What an ‘event’ it was too. Should be, right? After all it is a huge milestone in a young girls life.
Gillian and her friend and neighbor Alicia who also just turned 8, embarked on this adventure together. Other people who attended this very enormous event were; both sets of parents, big brother, Aunt Nicole and Gillian’s friend, Annabelle.
We went to Merle Norman in the mall and got a very sweet woman to help us. Both girls were very excited and very brave.
I know they will remember this day forever!!! I know I will.
I didn’t see them holding hands when Alicia went. That was a precious moment caught on camera! What a special day and memory!!!
Your photos really capture the moments – great job! I feel like I was there!
