The big day arrived

Yesterday was the day Kate and Rachel have been waiting for, for a long time. They got their ears pierced. They've been working hard to earn the special treat, especially Rachel. Both of them were very brave and no one cried. I was grateful for that. Rachel was quite nervous, surprising because she is usually my tough one. After they did the first ear, she looked at me like, "that is it?". I'm glad it is done. Rachel woke up this morning still thrilled at she has earrings. Very exciting!
