Taylor graduated to pierced ears

On Saturday April 7th I took Taylor to get her ears pierced. I told her a little before her 6th birthday that I would let her get her ears pierced. She had been asking for a long time but was a little nervous to actually get them pierced. So about 3 months later and a lot of discussions she decided she was ready. So on that Saturday Taylor and I had a mom and daughter date. I really enjoyed spending this time with just Taylor. It is not often that that happens.

Taylor loves hoops and can't wait to get to wear some. I think every time she saw me put my hoops on it made her want her ears pierced a little more. These hoops are the biggest ones we saw in the store. Here Taylor is waiting for the piercing.

During the piercing. She did so well and she was so proud of herself. She didn't cry a single tear or make a peep. Taylor told me that it hurt less than she thought it would.

After- You really can't see the earrings but she chose daisies with various colored petals.

After Claire's boutique we bought Taylor some new shoes and then headed to Cold Stone Creamery for some yummy ice-cream. It was a girlified afternoon with jewelry, shoes, and ice-cream.

While we were gone Preston finished the artificial turf in our backyard. One of the steps he used the vacuum to get the blades to stick up before laying the rubber pellets. I had to take a picture because vacuuming our backyard was something I did not imagine seeing in my lifetime.
