The dance studio where Ella takes her ballet classes had a Daddy/Daughter Valentine's Dance the weekend before Valentine's Day. Ella was so excited about it and begged to go after Ms. Sandy told her about it in dance class. It was a fundraiser for the studio to raise money for a new floor. The girls were to dress up in their fancy dresses and bring their daddies (or granddaddies, or uncles, or some male companion other than a boyfriend) for some dancing fun. Mother's with sons taking dance classes were allowed, but the rest of us moms were asked politely to stay away and let the daughters and their daddies have a special day.
I wanted Ella to really enjoy her date with daddy and feel extra special so I order her a small corsage and a boutonniere for daddy. She got to wear one of her new "fancy" dresses, her silver cross necklace, her charm bracelet, and even a little make-up. Don't worry, nothing major, just a little powder and lip gloss. She did ask the next day when we were getting ready for church if she could wear make-up again. I told her no that was only for very special occasions and that she didn't need make-up she was already pretty.
Here they are, all dressed up and on their way for their very first date.
An I love you kiss
They had so much fun. Ella couldn't stop talking about going to the dance with her daddy. Such a special time for Daddy and daughter.
