Daddy Daughter Dance

Sid got Grace a little pink carnation corsage. She wore it for about 10 minutes. :-)

See my pink shoes!?

Grace and Ryen Grace and Ryen tearing it up! Which one of these kids is doing their own thing?

Friday night was the DDD at church. For the second year I was blessed to serve as committee head and so was able to attend. This was Sid and Grace's first dance and I definitely had a few teary eyes. By far the highlight of the dance is watching the daddies and their dates come in through the front door and have their picture taken. The girls are so excited and the dads are relieved to see other dads all dressed up and trying to manage giggly little girls running around and dancing. This year my favorite was of course seeing Grace, but also her friend Ryen. There were a couple of other two-year olds at the dance too. The little girls are precious b/c they are adorable in their dresses, but mostly b/c they just run around. The other funny thing is they do exactly what the big girls do. The big girls all took off their shoes, so did Grace. The big girls went to the bathroom by themselves, so did Grace. The big girls got their own plates of food, so did Grace...donuts and mints of course. I also thoroughly enjoy watching the dads do the Hokey Pokey and the Macarana. Grace had a blast and especially loved staying up late. She now wants to go to a party every day. hehe. We've created a monster.
