New earrings for Ashleigh

So, 2 years ago, Nick and I pierced Ashleigh's ears. (that's a story for another time), but it was shortly before Christmas (again) and she got clip on princess dangly earrings from "santa/Christopher" so she promptly took our her earrings to put on the clip-ons, thus allowing her newly pierced ears to close up. So...I think enough time has passed and she forgot about how much it hurt and she has been asking again for a few weeks to get them done again. Today while we were out running errands she asked at every stop if this was where we were getting them pierced at. I finally took the hint and took her to Walmart. Thankfully they had 2 people there so we had both ears done at the same time. She cried a little, but really did a great job! Right before they did it, she smiled at me and said-I'm SO excited!

Before...















A few hours after...















And the other side...











And this necklace is what she picked out as her "present" for being so brave. :) She says it's my heart and hers... (Mine is the silver one, hers is the pink one.)
