This is my niece G, and I was taking photos of her and her sister today for my sister’s Christmas card. Since I could not use the shot for the Christmas card as it would ruin my sister’s surprise, I decided to use this shot of just her. We had a special day yesterday because she invited me to go with her to get her ears pierced. She has tried to get her ears pierced before but was not ready, so I was so extremely proud of her that she faced her fear yesterday and went through with it. On the way home, she could not stop smiling, and she and her sister were singing “we got our ears pierced…we got our ears pierced”. It was a fantastic moment, and I am honored that she invited me to be part of it.
