Daddy Daughter Dance~ At Last!


Just like it was for Madelyn a couple years ago, the Daddy Daughter Dance has been much anticipated by Gwen. In fact, being able to attend this event is the one reason Gwen wanted to join Girl Scouts this year. We had found a special dress for Gwen in a Barbie store we went into on a whim a few months ago, and we borrowed high heeled shoes from our neighbor. I took Gwen to get her hair done a couple of hours before the dance~ she couldn't wait to get home to show it to Daddy!

She couldn't help spinning and posing for me for pictures, and then she and Daddy were off to the ball!


Scott described the disco themed dance as "quite a party". There was lots of food, bubble machine, glow sticks, and a DJ that kept the dance moving with limbo, the macarena, YMCA, and the like. Gwen showed me all the dance moves she learned when she got home. :-)
Gwen's friend Audrey joined Scott and Gwen for several dances.
What kind of dance is this, Daddy?
So fun! This special night will be talked about for a long time to come.
