Daddy Daughter Dance 2013

Today was the long awaited day! Emma Claire has been waiting since last year for her chance to go to another Daddy Daughter Dance!

Of course, we go all out!

First there was hair and make-up time...
(She thought she was going to wear all this fun jewelry. ; )

Next came the DRESS!

In the fall we went to watch our friend Brooklyn in her homecoming parade and ever since then Emma Claire has wanted a dress that looked just like hers. We have been seeing a dress that looked a lot like it at Kohl's for a couple months now and every time we go she has a fit for it. However, it had a price tag of $54! I think NOT.

A few days before the dance I was scoping out Kohl's website to see if they had any cute dresses that we might get her for the dance. And guess what?!? I saw this dress! It was marked 70% off online and said they had a limited quantity in store. So the next day I headed over to Kohl's not very optimistic that I would find it. As I walked over to the clearance section I SAW IT! It was the ONLY one in the store and it was IN HER EXACT SIZE! FOR 70% OFF!!! And after another coupon I got this dress for about $12! I was one happy momma and she was one thrilled girl!

She wanted to have a picture with her brother. Him, not so much! ; )

Daddy and his Date!

Can you tell that this girl likes to have her picture taken?

They had such a WONDERFUL time. First they went to a dinner, then to the dance and then to McDonald's for coffee and ice cream. This momma was already in the bed when they got home. ; )

So thankful that these two get to make memories like this!
