Zoey gets her ears pierced!

Another family milestone for the Warren's on August 19, 2007. It has been a tradition to have Aunt Bea take her nieces to have their ears pierced. Since she was in town for a few weeks, and Zoey really wanted to have it done, we agreed to go this Sunday to the mall and get it done!

 

Zoey checked out a couple of places in the mall to make sure she was going to the right one. One seemed pretty crazy busy, and so she checked that off her list.

 

We ended up coming back to the first place we had checked out, and Zoey carefully picked out the earrings she is going to wear for the next 4-6 weeks. She picked Aquamarine...her birthstone and also her favorite color...blue. Mommy, Aunt Bea, Grandpa Joe and Grandma Henny stood by and held hands while she got it done...and she was SO BRAVE!!

 

Even though we could tell it really hurt, she didn't spill a tear! We all admired how pretty it looked, and then made a beeline for Cold Stone Creamery to get some "after piercing" ice cream...which was a great distracter.

 

All in all it could not have gone better...and when we got back to see Avery and Daddy, Avery's first question was "does it hurt" and her second question was, "when can I get mine done...when I'm a big girl??"

Zoey, you look so grown up...even though it looks so beautiful, it still makes me sad to see my big girl so grown up.

I love you!
