Princess Ball 2013

On Friday, February 1st, our church held their annual Princess Ball for dads and daughters. Kaelyn looks forward to this event every year and talks about it non-stop leading up to the special night. It's hard to believe that this was her 4th year to attend. Don't get me wrong...Daddy loves this night just as much as Kaelyn does.

This year I decided to take Kaelyn shopping for her dress, so that she could pick it out. It was our first "real" attempt at a girls shopping trip, and I loved every minute of it. Kaelyn knew that she wanted a pink dress and she wasn't going to stop the shopping trip until we found it. And...she's Mommy's kind of girl, a sale shopper. The dress we found was just perfect for her and at a great sales price! She also insisted on pink shoes to go with it. Kaelyn is very particular when it comes to clothing and what she chooses to wear these days.

Before they left for the dance, Daddy had two gifts for Kaelyn. One was a big heart with lots of little hearts all over it. This gift was just perfect for Kaelyn because she is really gotten into "hearts." Daddy made this gift all by himself. The second gift was a sweet little heart charm necklace for Kaelyn to wear to the ball. She loved it! We have one special Daddy!

We met our small group friends and all the girls and dads took pictures together ahead of the big evening. It's always so special to see all the girls dressed up and loving on their daddys. This year, Robbie's brother, Bentley and precious baby Landry joined Robbie and Kaelyn for the special night. Kaelyn adores her cousin Landry and was excited she was going. It brought memories back of when Robbie took Kaelyn for the first time at 6 months old.

Needless to say, Robbie and Kaelyn stayed until the lights came on at the end of the night. Even though her friends had left already, she wouldn't stop dancing until someone kicked them out.

One sweet Daddy and his little girl.
