The preparation for the dance included home-manicures and a hairstylist (me!) as well as some careful lip gloss preparation. When it was time to go, I was pleased to see that Daddy was as excited as his little princesses! He got all spiffy in a suit & tie and any girl would have been proud to be on his arm.
I definitely think that having been a single-parent for so long made Chris the most amazing dad...I still recall (when we were dating) when he complimented me on the type of braid I had in my hair. I was surprised that a guy would recognize (and call, by name) a fairly obscure braid-style (a herringbone) and asked how he knew? He had purchased a "hair style" guide so he could do Erin's hair when she was a little girl....awwww! He shows this same commitment to making his younger daughters feel so special and loved, which in turn, makes me love him more!
Ok, enough sap. Please enjoy a glimpse into a night out with Daddy!

Walking in with Dada, Sophia looks a little panicked that Alexa isn't following fast enough!
Having fun!
Beautiful Alexa

Dancing with Dada
When my little family arrived home, they were breathless with stories about the night! The girls each received a corsage (which they'll pin on their memory-boards) and a little acrylic plaque with the date & event etched on it, and a heart-shaped Mylar balloon. Daddy was worn out from dancing with the girls, but they all had a fabulous time!! It's so important for our girls to feel cherished and adored; we want them to know how special they are, always.
