Ashley's birthday fell on a school day this year and her only birthday wish was to skip school and be taken out to lunch. So, since she is the only student in her class to be getting straight A's, I figured I would give the rest of the class the day to catch up and let her stay home. We went to Nordstrom for lunch and then I took her to get her ears pierced at the mall. She was super nervous, but did just fine. (Isn't she oh-so glamorous?)
I was also convinced to let her have a few friends over after school, which turned into an all day and all night slumber party.
