Birthday Surprise

Today was such a fun day!  We started a couple years ago giving the girls the choice of having a special surprise activity or a gift from me and Shawn.  Braelyn chose an activity but it kind of had a gift wrapped into it!  We had a girls day at the American Girl store getting their dolls hair done in the salon, Braelyn's doll's ears pierced, and even had lunch at the Bistro.  From there, it was on to the other big surprise...we decided to allow her to get her ears pierced if she still wanted to.  We went to Sweet and Sassy and I was so anxious to see if she would go through with it.  She did amazing!  She didn't even flinch or cry!  When they were done, all she said, in a very calm voice was, "Ow, that hurt."!  She looks so cute with her little birthstone earrings.  Happy birthday sweet B!

Em, Grase, Ellie, and Brae

The little salon chairs for the dolls were too cute.

When our cheese sticks arrived, Em didn't miss a beat giving Grase one!

Such a special day!  I love being these girls Mom so much!!!

No birthday celebration is complete without an amazing dessert!

Why not 2 desserts??!!  After we finished our sundae, the waitress came to sing to B and brought her a little cupcake.

I really get to get my ears pierced????!!!!!

Poor little things heart was racing and she was shaking, but she still had a sweet smile!

That look says it all!

She did it!

Definitely helped to have Big Sis in her cheering section!

Em had shopped so hard for her sister and couldn't wait to give her her gift.

She got her the earrings she has been wanting at Target for so long, a princess headband to wear to her party and an Old Navy card to buy more jewelry.
