Last Friday we took the girls up to the cemetary to see Great Grandpa grave. It was a special time for them to "say hello" to Great Grandpa. Because of the strong wind, they felt it was their duty to pick up the mums and other flowers on the neighboring graves that had blown over. Before we left, they wanted to sing "I love to see the temple" for Great Grandpa. It was awesome.Because it was late, we decided to stop at Fashion Place for dinner. The girls got a hot dog on a stick. I decided to take them to Claire's to see what was new. Their heads about spin off their necks because of all of the Prinecess and Hanna Montana stuff. As we were walking around the store Annika asked me to bend over so she could ask me a question. "Dad, can I get my ears pierced?" We had thought to wait until they twins were eight to do it, but if they, out of their own desire, want to get them done, we would support them.
Claire's was not doing it that night, but a small kiosk in the middle of the mall was. We took both of the girls down to the kiosk to see the cost. Fortunately, an older girls was getting hers done when we arrived. When the worker pulled the trigger, Annika jumped. However she still was determined. We asked them if they could do both of the ears at the same time because we were not sure that she would follow though with the second one after feeling the pain of the first. Patricia was ready to assist and give loves after it was done. I took a few pictures with my phone for posterity.
Right when the guns snapped Annika let out a little yelp and Corinne turned to me and said "Daddy, I think I will wait until I am eight."
Enjoy the pictures.
