For Her Birthday

When my girls turn 5, they get to choose whether to have their ears pierced.
It's Kinley Grace's turn.
She was all smiles...

...then a tad apprehensive...
and, well, it went downhill from there.
Until she saw the purple bling in her ears:)

It was a family affair, complete with our own photographer. We were all visibly thrilled at the photo opp.

After the excitement of dining out and strolling the mall, we opted out of our W*l-Mart trip. otherwise known as our 'perspective ministry.' Why we call it this?

*glad you asked*

I figure when other shoppers see us walk in with 9 kids and grab 3 baskets, they realize their life is pretty good :)

Seriously though, I wouldn't trade it. Well, maybe for a day. No, who am I kidding? Well...

How did I get from ear piercing to W*l-Mart shopping?

Clearly, it's bedtime.
