Daddy/Daughter dance

Grace and Aaron finally got a chance to attend the Habitat for Humanity! In years past we have always been gone either on our annual ski trip or somewhere else.  One year she did get the chance to attend with Grandpa Bill! 
Since it may be the last year Grace is excited to hang with dad we decided to make it a little bigger event.  We didnt really have a choice on a new dress. I am emabarassed to say that my only daughter had 1 dress in her closet and it was a size 10, way too small!!  Dress shopping was exhausting. I went during the day to scout out what was out there knowing at her age and a small town it wouldnt b easy.  Everything was either to young and easter flowery or prom-ish.  I had a few contenders one of which I actually found at Jc Penny for $45 but thought was a little too much for the occasion and was also a junior size 1!  Don't wanna think my girl is moving into the junior section, boo!  After trying on my first couple choices grace discovered the plastic covered covered hanger in my bedroom and begged me to show her what was inside. As I opened it her jaw dropped!  Obviously she fell in love with it.  We even had to go back and exchange it for a size 3 to have room to grow. 
I also went ahead and ordered a coursage and boutineere and we surprised here with that as well. 
The night of the dance Grace and Dad paired up with our friends the Griffiths.  Grace is good friends with their daughter's Jacie and Nina from school and dance.  They enjoyed the dance. The Dj was really good and even video tapped a harlem shuffle with all the daughters there featuring Grace and friends.  Afterwards the dads treated them to a game of bowling and some pizza. Not a bad end to a fun and special night!
