5pm.

Adventures at Claire's...

I can't remember if I had to wait until I was 8 or if I chose to wait until I was 8. Regardless, I was 8 when I got my ears pierced so that is what we decided to do with our girls.

Elodie talked about it for weeks leading up to her birthday! She was so excited to finally get her ears pierced.

The weekend after her Baptism was when we decided to take her in. I especially wanted to do it while my mom was still her.

We were really proud of Elodie. She never backed out, hopped right in to the chair, and only cried a little bit right after it was done. And even that I think she cried because of relief! It did help that they did both ears at the same time.

She looks so fun in her earrings and she is so excited to go shopping for more earrings once her 6 weeks is up.

I'm thinking a Claire's gift card in her stocking will be so fun!

Graycie and her mom came along for extra support!

 Looking brave!

Her smile went from brave to fake as soon as she sat in the chair!

 Deep Breaths.

 Marking...

Dad stepped in to make sure they are even. 

 Addysen definitely not on board. She kept saying over and over again that she was never getting her ears pierced!

My mom went out and looked through the window to get the best view. It was so crowded in that store!

Wordless Wednesday {Crazy Hair Day}

Elodie's Baptism Day.

Elodie's Baptism Day was on Saturday, September 8th at 2pm. It was a lovely day and we had so many family and friends there to support her.

I loved that the baptism wasn't until 2pm so we had plenty of time in the morning to get ready. We never felt rushed at all. And I should clarify that there is a huge difference between being stressed and rushed. I was stressed. But we were never rushed! I should be grateful we weren't both!

We are so thankful to everyone who came and supported Elodie on her special day. Christopher did a great job and the program went so smoothly.

She was the only one baptized from our ward this day so she got the whole table to herself!

Afterwards we had a few families over for dessert. I did a burlap and white theme for the tables and really loved the way it all came together! We had all white desserts. Sugar cookies, cake pops, kettle corn,  ruffled white cake, and strawberries dipped in white chocolate. My centerpieces were babiesbreathe in mason jars.

 I was really bummed that my cake pops weren't as easy as they look...

Elodie has such a sweet spirit. I can't believe she is old enough to be baptized! She knows right from wrong and always tries so hard to be a good example for her little sisters!

We love you Elodie!
