Their First Daddy/Daughter Dance

Today was a very special day for Eric and Ella.... they went to their first Daddy/Daughter dance. Ella's been looking forward to it for a while, and er excitement was contagious!

 This morning I did a hair trial run, after painting her nails. :)

 All ready, and practicing posing for pictures!

 Showing me her heels... one of her favorite things about this day!

 Another favorite thing would be twirling in this dress. So magical! 

When she tried on the dress last week, her eyes just lit up when she saw it, and when she figured out it was fluffy enough to do a really great spin when she turned! Loved watching her in it. :)

Proud Daddy!

 Love this beautiful girl so very much!

 Sweet smile

 She would not stop spinning back and forth in this thing! Hence the blurry pics..... but I love it!

  Gorgeous girl!! That hair!! Let's just all take a moment and truly admire it, and be jealous. :)

 Pretty as ever!

While they were away at the dance, I took the boys to a birthday party. We came home with some fun party favors to play with. Ella would NOT take off her dress and heels, and I thought this was adorable!! 

 Love!! I wish my hair looked that good while running around non stop!

It was a super day for both of them. I wish I could have joined them and watched it all, or at least have been a fly on the wall. But I know they both had a great time. Ella said she wanted to go to a dance with Daddy every day! HA! Don't know about that, but I think making it an every year thing is a must!! I'm sure she's already looking forward to it in 2016!!
