With just a couple of days before my baby becomes a Kindergartner, we decided to do something special and pierce her ears. Bella's BFF Lydia (aka Lily) also wanted her ears pierced, so her mom and I quickly planned a date before the girls could change their minds:) The girls chatted and giggled on the drive to the mall, while the boys (Micah, Nehemiah, Elijah and Jonas, Lily's little brother) watched a movie. Finally, brave little Bella was ready! But alas, once one ear was done she kept whimpering, "just one is fine". Of course when I took Calla several weeks ago, they had two ladies working and did both ears simultaneously, wish I hadn't missed that this time.
Before:)
After:(
Nerves aside, both girls did great and loved their earrings. Here they are showing them off just minutes later, all smiles.
Token picture of Elijah, to prove he was there!
Holding hands...
Stopping to browse...
On the back of his "hog" (BTW Micah will have to be quite a rebel to get a motorcycle as they are forbidden in the Davis household, much to my mother's dismay since she used to ride!)
And of course, sharing a milkshake.
Now if that isn't one great first date, I don't know what is. I guess I just figured he would be a bit older...like 4!
After our super-fun sleepover and a hearty breakfast, we headed back to the Walford home to prepare for the main attraction {insert royal fanfare here} the Birthday Tea at the Ballantyne Hotel. Not only were we going to enjoy an elegant tea at one of the most luxurious hotels in Charlotte, but first the girls got to dress as princesses!
Oh what to order, tea, hot cocoa, chocolate milk?
One tray held cucumber, salmon, chicken salad and and vegetable sandwiches while the other had PB&J. Guess which one went first.
The birthday girl looking ever lovely and majestic:)
