Julia got her ears pierced! She recently turned ten, so we figured it was about time she was able to wear earrings. What kicked this off is that Jonathan bought her some earrings for Christmas at the school store. After she opened them, we told her the other part of the present was that she could have her ears pierced! There are a few local doctor offices that will pierce ears for a small fee. The first picture is Julia waiting (happily) for the topical anesthetic to numb her ear lobes. The last picture is Julia thinking, "what a great idea!".
