Annie's
school does an annual Daddy/Daughter Dance. Annie had so much fun getting ready. I talked to the 'head mom' who was planning the event and she needed more help, so I got to go and watch! Annie and I before we all left (in separate cars, so I didn't interfere on their 'date!'). Ben and Emily stayed home with a boy babysitter that they both LOVED!
The obligatory before pictures!
Gym was so incredible HOT! This picture makes me sad (and happy). Andy was one of the only dads dancing. Where were the rest of the men??? Most were playing games or surfing the net on their phones...
Secrets chats. Love the
corsages! The horticulture department and the local high school made them all. The girls all just beamed getting them and putting them on. The woman handing them out told each Princess to have a fun night.
Before Annie got bored and started to play tag in the halls with a little friend...
Mitchell was my sidekick for the night. He was FABULOUS!!! He loved all the people walking by and saying hello to him. His cheeks MUST have hurt from smiling so much! This is Annie and her little friend, Lauren.
Annie had to go to the bathroom at the end of the night, so Andy took her back out. As soon as they left, the DJ announced that this was the last song. My heart was sad as I helped clean up the refreshments and watched ALL the
daddys (or is it 'drop the 'y' and add '
ies') and
daughters dance. Then the DJ told all the girls to give their dads a hug and tell him thanks for coming. About 3 minutes later Andy and Annie came bounding back in. Thankfully, there was still music on, so they still had their last dance of the night! Annie told me later this was her favorite part of the evening, as she got to slide around on the dance floor!

Absolutely precious! She is getting so grown up. She is and always will be a princess!
So incredibly sweet! What a memory this will make. =)
That is so sweet. I love it. And Mitchell is absolutely darling. I love his full head of hair!
What a darling idea. I am sad for the other girls too. Be men and DANCE! Good thing Annie has such a great Daddy. :)
Oh my goodness! Fastforward 20 years to her wedding day... wow! How neat!
So fun!! I'm sure Annie is going to remember this date the rest of her life! Thanks for sharing! So have you made plans to come to Utah yet? I NEED to see you!
She's so beautiful!
