Our family is holier now


Yes, you heard that right, we are holier. Alyssa got 2 holes in her ear lobes on November 3. Our family rule is 10 years old and she wanted to do it on the anniversary of her baptism. So, as per tradition, we invited best buddies (3) and went off to Claire's at the mall. After looking over the choices, Alyssa picked her birthstone studs and held on tight to Mom's hand. Alyssa was very brave, she didn't shed one tear. She did jerk and we were worried she had jerked too hard and something was misplaced, but it all worked out. Alyssa even asked for both ears to be done at the same time. :) She got a coupon for an earring holder for her birthday, so after being thus beautified, she went off with her friends to pick out just the right one. We picked out best friends necklaces for the 4 girls and they posed for pictures in a photo booth. We shared a cup of pretzel bites and left for home. It was a fabulous day!

Holy! Oh my gosh! Almost all of the Belt women now have holes in their head--in a good way. Let's see, only Becca and maybe Kenzie. Congrats to Lizard. I was 40 when I got my ears pierced, so it's a good thing you didn't have to wait that long. Ana got hers pierced on Saturday, so all ten year olds are now HOLY!!!! And thirteen, and twelve and the old ladies of the family, too. Love ABA
