She did it!

After her cousins got their ears pierced, Mckenzie kept begging and begging to get hers done. On New Year's day while Bodie was snowboarding, we...Leslie, myself, and all the kids...headed down to the mall. We had to stop and take a good look through some clearance racks before going to Claire's and you would have thought it was an eternity to McKenzie who begged every minute or so to go to the ear piercing store. So, we finally made our way down there. We had to wait for a very nervous girl who was ahead of us in line. She looked like she was about 9 or 10 and when it came right down to it, she freaked out and started crying and didn't want to get her ears pierced. McKenzie caught sight of her and just stared. I asked Mckenzie if she REALLY wanted to do this. She said she did and guess what?

She was very brave and just sat there like it was nothing. I think I was stressing more than she was! It is hard to see in the picture but the studs are tiny blue titanium balls. They kind of look like a pin in her ear, but they are perfect for her. So, now comes the fun part....shopping for earrings!
