First Dance

A brought home this invitation for the dance and couldn't wait to give it to daddy.
She made the blue swirlies to "fancy up" the card.  A's first corsage made of mini roses.

Of course, I made them pose for a father/daughter portrait before they left. 


A special necklace to wear to the dance.

Walking hand in hand to the dance.

I know there are going to be so many special "Firsts" coming down the line and I can't document every single little moment, but I'm sure going to try! A had her first Father/daughter dance at school last week and she was so excited about getting "fancied up" with her daddy. She chose the dress she wanted to wear (a blue bubble dress from 2 Christmases ago and it fit!) and she told me how she wanted her hair done (absolutely no curls - just up).  I went and got her a small corsage and she also got a necklace to wear for the special night.  As she walked away from the house with her small hand enclosed in daddy's hand, I couldn't hep but wish she could just stay little. How am I going to feel when she goes to her first dance with a BOY! Danny has already said that he's going to chaperone every single dance our 3 princesses go to, so I guess I don't have anything to worry about!
