A Christmas Story

Meeting Granny (Greg's mom) for the very first time!


One of Irene's Christmas gifts from her Aunt Amy and Uncle Chip was to get her ears double pierced. To ensure the piercing was done properly, we went to a tattoo and body piercing shop. This was absolutely alarming to mom, but she did admit after it was over that they were very professional. Irene had a blast and loves her new earrings!
Irene and John, who did a great job piercing her ears!

Irene and Aunt Amy!

Bella and her Paw Paw, whom she adores!

It is excellent to see your in-laws meeting Bella.
How wonderful has your Christmas been?! We are so happy for you.

Congratulations Irene. Glad that you got them doubled up. Good to hear that your mom freaked and was nervous.

Happy New Year.
