Dads, Daughters, Dancing.

Our American Heritage Girls Troop held its second annual Daddy Daughter Dinner Dance this weekend.

As one who helped to organize and execute the event, I must say our Fiesta-themed evening was quite a hit!

Everyone had a great time and, oh my goodness, it's so fun to see Dad's and their girls being silly and dancing together.

We had games for the girls and Dads to play before dinner.

After dinner we broke out the dance tunes. Scott even got out there for the chicken dance!

We even played a couple of slow songs.  Watching them dance to Butterfly Kisses about had me in tears! 

Eliza Grace just looked adorable in her peach-colored dress.  She is growing up so darn fast!

The girls had plenty of time to be silly and hang out with one another.

And when the Dads took a break, the girls were still going strong on the dance floor.

The obligatory group shot.

Followed by the obligatory silly faces group shot.

I'm so thankful for this group of families with whom we can do life.

And this is the beaming face of a sweet girl who had a really great time with her Dad and her friends!

And Then She Sneezed.

So yesterday after school I decided I'd better stop to get the kids a snack on our way to Tae Kwon Do. 

As I sat across the table from my babies, overcome with how much I love them, I asked them to scootch together for a picture.  I love the contrast of Eliza Grace's bright blue eyes beside Will's mysterious and multi-colored hazel eyes.

"Hey, ya'll scootch together so I can take a picture.  I want to see your pretty eyes."

"Will, just be natural. You don't have to look all bug eyed."

"Eliza Grace, now you're scrunching up your nose."

"Oh, you need to sneeze.  Look at the light, it might help.  And be sure to sneeze into your elb...."

"Oh, gross!  You just sneezed all over Will's face and arm!"

"Okay, can we try this one more time?"

"Geesh, was that so hard?  

Now both of you go wash your hands.  

And Will, wash your face and arm, too."
