birthday day....


Our girls have waited until their 8th birthday to pierce their ears...
(I'm kinda hoping Sophie will hold out even longer.)
Kate had said after Ellie had hers pierced that she would wait until she was 21.
She changed her mind...
so after swimming lessons we headed out to Claire's.

She was SOOOOOOOO nervous.
She held thightly to the bear they offered her and then squeezed the hand her little sister offered her.
The tears lasted until they handed her a mirror...
"Mom, I look SO different!" she exclaimed!
She is getting too grown up too fast if you ask me :)



Pizza for lunch with her favorite playmates (her sisters)!


 Off to see Mirror Mirror.
Can you believe two security guards were walking by when I tried to take their pictures in front of the theater and they wouldn't let me!  Not even for the birthday girl.  He suggested the brick wall.  Wow!  I am speechless!  Seriously!?


We finished off the evening poolside...with strawberries, cream and pound cake for dessert.  
What a perfect day!
