~Daddy/Daughter Dance~

The house is quiet now, however, just seconds ago, it was filled with excitement. Lauren and Daddy just left on their first date, the Daddy/Daughter Dance at our church. They have been planning this for weeks. Today, I picked Lauren up from preschool and we headed to the mall to pick out her "Belle" Dress that she wanted to wear. We then went home and Lauren excitedly chattered about her dance with her Prince...She put on her new dress, slipped on her ballet shoes, and then we headed to the bathroom counter. I curled Laurens hair and added yellow butterfly clips, Lauren applied "mommy's makeup" to her eyes (just like mommy does to the tee) We then sat on our bed and Lauren looked through my jewelry box oohing and ahhing. We found the necklace that was perfect for her tonight and it happened to be the necklace mommy wore on mommy and daddy's wedding day!

Daddy then came home and brought Lauren a beautiful corsage made of baby white roses. Lauren placed this on ever so delicately and her smile showed how very special she was feeling tonight. Then Daddy opened the car door for Lauren and off they went to the Ball. Oh, to be a fly on the wall tonight and watch them dance and laugh together! What an amazing dream come true...
