The girls got their ears pierced after Christmas. Emma has been told she could get them pierced for a couple years now, but has chickened out each time. I was sure Leora was going to chicken out, and she almost did at the very last moment. After the first ear she wanted to stop, and right after she said she wanted to give the earrings back. :) Emma was very excited when it was done. About 10 minutes later Leora was in love with her new earrings and admired them in every mirror she could find at the mall.
