Right of Passage

Today MacKenzie had a right of passage. She got her ears pierced! She really has never been interested in getting them pierced and we never talked much about it. Earlier in the week we watched a girl getting hers done at Claire's in the mall, and ever since then it has been a hot topic in our house. MacKenzie would go back & forth about wanting them done, but not wanting them done. I think she was a little scared it would hurt, but her big concern about not getting them done was "What if I don't ever get them pierced and then I can't wear earrings on my wedding day?" A valid concern, I guess. Anyway she finally decided today that she did want them pierced after all. 

A little apprehensive about what was to come...

Feeling the "gun" 

The flinch just before...

...And the small cry as soon as they went in

Needing Daddy's hand to hold

Checking them out for the first time

Liking it

Of course, we can't go to Sweet & Sassy without making our own concoctions of candy powder & lip gloss!

Reagan got to participate in the concoctions too...and, if you're wondering, she does not have a mustache...she's just dirty! You would think her mother would wipe off her face after playing all afternoon at the park....NAH!    : )
