The girls were sooo excited about our new hot tub. Every single day I heard, "mommy, can we go in the hot tub?!" Absolutely we can! And so we did. We invited the next door Sierra over and threw some bath toys in there to make it extra super fun! Lots of smiles make mom happy :)

A video of the girls at play:
Avril had asked mommy if she could get her ears pierced for her birthday. With all the business of preparing for her party, and mom's crazy work schedule, we just didn't make it to the ear piercing place in time. So mom decided it would be fun to have a girls day out! Avril, McKel, Sierra, and mommy spent the whole day together. And we did make it to Claire's boutique to put some holes in that sweet girl's ears. Big moment for Avril.

 |
| Where is our food?!! |
 |
| Ready for the mess to begin! |
 |
| Tick tock tick tock |
 |
| Now let the spaghetti mess begin!! |
Avril's very favorite food is spaghetti. It also happens to be the messiest food possible for kids to eat. Oh well. I've gotten pretty used to messes since becoming a mom.
 |
| Tuckered McKel went right to sleep on the way to the mall |
 |
| This brave girl is ready to get some ears pierced! |
 |
| So brave |
 |
| Not even one tear shed... |
I was so proud of Avril. She sat there and waited her turn patiently. She picked out some pink heart earrings. For some reason the needle did not go all the way through her ear lobe the first time and I was so worried that Avril was going to freak out and scream since they had to do it again. But no, she remained calm and cool. She didn't cry one bit! I told her to be brave like Rapunzel and she listened to her Mommy. Love my Av.
 |
| So excited to have earrings!! |
 |
| Time to play on gigantic junk food! |
 |
| The best of friends... |
Nana took mommy to get her hair colored out in Richmond, where her friend Lacey has a salon from her home. Her little daughter had some creative fun with Nana Gayle's hair during the appointment. Had to include a shot of that!
 |
| Hold on Nana Gayle, I still have a ton more clips that need to go in your hair! |
