Avery got her ears pierced!

Avery has been wanting to get her ears pierced for quite awhile, but we kept waiting to see if it was just a phase. But today we were at the mall and she really wanted to do it. We talked about how it would hurt like when she got a shot and she still wanted to do it. This pictures was before. Isn't this sad? It just broke my heart. She tried so hard to be brave. And in my book she was!

This video is a little sad, but so priceless. Avery tried so hard to be brave. Afterword, I told her how brave she was and she said "No, I wasn't. I cried." She is so sweet.

The girls had fun looking at all of the Christmas stuff while waiting in line to see Santa. Avery loved the Reindeer and Santa. Emersen was not too sure about the reindeer and definitely did not care for Santa. She was not happy when we set her in his lap.

Avery called there the "shocking" eyes.

Nice look Erik!

We just can't keep the girls away from the tree. Avery loves the ornaments and Emersen loves the presents. Avery was so excited to put the tree topper on.
