Well, my pictures are all out of order and for some reason I just can't move them the way I want to on this laptop. So, I will just have to tell the story out of order which really bugs me. Oh well. My mom works for a wholesale jewelry company and they have the guns to pierce ears. So, needless to say she's pierced a lot of ears in the 20 some odd years she's worked there. When Hannah was four my mom asked if she could pierce her ears and when I told Hannah she cried and was terribly upset that her Grammy would want to hurt her like that. Now that she is approaching 10 in a couple of months she was ready for Grammy to hurt her. And, we have a rule in our house that little girls can't get their ears pierced until they are 10. 9 and 10 months was close enough and Grammy brought her gun with her this trip. She actually brought two because she and my crazy sister in the above picture were each going to do an ear so that it is over with faster. But, the second gun didn't work so Hannah had to do it the old-fashioned way, one ear at at a time! 
Finally we distracted her with a funny DVD (Tim Hawkins) and Grammy did it without her knowing it was about to be done. Grammy tricked her with the "I'm just lining it up trick." 
Here she actually ran away from the chair sure that she just could not do this.
Here she is panicking and considering changing her mind. 
Here she's having the second one done and being Ms. Drama Queen. She's still half smiling while she's screaming. No tears though.
One happy girl with her new look!
This is before we got started, she's a little nervous but not in full blown panic mode yet.

How exciting! Go Grammy! It still astounds me that my mom pierced my ears - she froze them with an ice cube and then used a hat pin. It was far less painful than when I had them done the second time with the gun.
i think all those drama classes have paid off!!!! when madison got hers done they had two girls and did both ears at one time.
don't tell her the childbirth hust way more than that...she'll never have kids :>)
Oh, the pain we women endure for beauty. Too funny.
sweet...
I think it's smart to wait until they're older unless you get it done very early. Ann first time was too early and they had to be redone when she got older.
I love all of Hannah's expressions!
Yeah! How exciting! Who knew about your mom's hidden talents? Will she do our belly buttons at our next Girls' night? JUST KIDDING!!!
I thought something looked different about Hannah. Way to go!
