Father/Daughter Ball

Emily and Dan attended the local Father/Daughter Ball again this year. Emily had a great time! Dan tolerated it for her benefit. Dressing up and dancing isn't really his thing... LOL But he did enjoy his one on one time with Emily. Emily wore her flowergirl dress from my brother's wedding last summer. LOVE getting extra uses out of the nicer clothes!!

Dan,Emily,fun events

I will admit to being disappointed that the picture wasn't zoomed out so as to see more of Emily's dress. I get the intent behind the closer up shot, but the real point of the picture (in my opinion) is to document that they were out together in their nice attire! Last year, they had the little girls stand on a chair, so they were more of an even height with their daddies. So the picture could still be zoomed in, but the kid wasn't cut in half... O'well, it's a nice picture regardless!

I didn't take many pictures from home, because Dan didn't start getting himself ready until it was about time for them to be flying out the door! ha! Emily wanted me to make sure to get pictures from all sides. (LOL!)

(We really need a nice "spot" in the house for taking pictures! The kitchen as the backdrop just isn't really cutting it...)

I guess there was a raffle this year, and Emily ended up winning a real pink pearl bracelet from Fred Meyer Jewelers!! They're strung on an elastic cord, which doesn't seem very sturdy to me, so I've been strongly cautioning her to save them for special events, and to not play around with them while she's wearing them. She was pleased as punch to be dolled up, out with her daddy, and then to win the pearl bracelet... She's already counting down until next year!
