Starting off Jasmine’s big birthday was a trip to the mall. We got some some Sears portraits done which you will see in the next post.

We ate a great lunch at the Cheesecake factory. The guacamole appetizer looked to be actually home made. And the servers all sang ‘happy birhtday’ to Jasmine. We enjoyed our food – but I would say it is very loud there. We have a theory that the tall ceilings and whatever material they are made of amplify sound.

After lunch, we went to get Jasmine’s ear’s pierced. I believe this was Rachel’s idea, she has been wanting to get this done ever since Jasmine’s fifth birthday.
