It's done

London wanted her ears pierced for her birthday

We finally talked daddy into letting her do this

So Saturday, November 17th we headed out to Wichita to accomplish our goal

She was excited and a little nervous

She had been asking a lot of questions about ear piercing over the last month

on the way there she asked if it would feel like when she had her blood drawn

I was honest about it all - didn't want any surprises

When we got to the shopping mall,  she took my hand and whispered "I'm nervous"

I told her it was okay - she just flashed me her beautiful smile 

 patiently waiting

these gals were wonderful!  they made it a great experience for her

 no drama, no crying, not even an ouch

just closed the eyes when it happened

so brave

I've decided she has a high pain tolerance

 not sure what she is thinking here

 how cute is she?

went then went over to Bradley Fair and saw Santa

Kennedy bailed out of the picture

between talking London into staying and Kennedy bawling

my picture didn't come out too good

they had blue lights and my flash didn't go off

at least it is in focus - Santa pictures never seem to go well with in our family

We also tried a family picture - oh well

all in all it was a great evening together
