Ella is a big girl!

Ella has asked several times over the last 6-8 months if she could get earings. We finally agreed to it in January while we were in Utah but she decided at the last min that she didn't want the "needle" in her ear after all. She mostly forgot about it for a few months but recently she has been asking again so today after going to see Rio in the $1 movies with Mom and Dad we went accross the parking lot at the mall and went to get her ears pierced. She chose some "diamond" earrings. (Cubic Zirconium) and was really brave. She cried for a few seconds after they did the piercing, but gave up when they offered her a lolly pop. She now is in LOVE with her "Princess ears" and is very excited to show them off to her friends. I also told her that she could pick out some fun new earrings after the 6 week healing process, so she is also looking forward to that. I think she looks adorable! And I am excited that she loves them. Now to get through the next 6 weeks with no infections.

I took a video of the piercing process, but Blogger isn't letting me upload it right now. I will try again later, for now, here are some before and after pictures.
