Daddy Daughter Dance

Every year the city puts together a daddy/daughter dance for kids four and up.  Months before tickets had even gone on sale Jason had put it on his calendar so they didn't miss out.  His love for our daughter makes me love him even more. 

After getting her hair done and dress on she had a blast running around the house and twirling around in her dress.  He got her a flower that she didn't want to put down.  For lunch he took her to chick Fil A and then parked at the mall to ride the bus over to the hotel.  Riding the bus was Kaylie's favorite part of the entire experience.  Once in it took about an hour of watching before she started to dance and then she didn't want to stop.  For a treat on the way home the daddy/daughter duo stopped to get some M&M's. 

Even though it took an hour for her to warm up she came home singing songs the rest of the night.  She even surprised us by singing/dancing to songs she hadn't danced to to begin with.  Her two favorites were the Cha Cha Slide and YMCA. 

Beware their are a lot of pictures but I couldn't pick a few because I loved them all.

Getting beautiful

In preperation for the daddy/daughter dance Kaylie and I went to Sweet and Sassy for a hair cut and an updo.  I wasn't sure how this would go considering I chase her around the house when it is time to brush her hair and she screamed every time I mentioned they might curl her hair but with the help of baby puppy she pulled through and was brave.  At one point she quietly told the lady she hurt her but did not scream.  It wasn't until we added the flowers that the melt down began but was happy to have them once she was done.  The lady finished it off with what we thought was silver glitter but turned out to be gold.  I freaked and had her spray silver over it to try and fix it.  At first I wanted to cry over the amount of glitter on her head but got over it as the day went on.  By the time they left for the dance it had evened out some.

As a reward for a job well done she got to enjoy a brownie with me.  I am thrilled I was able to enjoy part of the experience with her.  I had a hard time not being able to be there with them. Thankfully, Jason kept me up to date with pictures and videos.

You can't tell by this pic but she was super mad at me for having the lady put the silver flowers in her hair.  That part really hurt her.  She perked up once we went downstairs to get a brownie.

Kaylie took this picture.

Soccer prep

Jason had a random day off so we watched her swim and then took her to get her soccer stuff.  I wasn't sure how she would do with the shin guards but once on she didn't want them off.  We came home, pulled out the soccer goal she got from Christmas and started to practice.  I hope she likes playing with others like she does with us.

Birthday fun

Her first time with a real pinata.  

This is the sign of a good party.

Christmas vs. the dogs

I thought this was hilarious.  I set all of our light up lawn things on our front door to put away and laughed when I saw the dogs looking out.  It was like they were doing a stare down.

As a birthday surprise for Ms. Jen's 40th birthday Jason and I offered to watch their kids while Mr. Paul whisked her away to a well deserved surprise vacation.  At the last minute Jason ended up having to go on a work trip leaving me with four kids all to myself from Sunday until Tuesday.  The good thing was that these kids were awesome and completely respectful making my time alone with all of them much easier. I am glad we could do this for a great friend.  Happy birthday Ms. Jen.
