The Belle of the Ball


Tonight our church hosted a Father/Daughter Valentine's Dance. Last night was a dance for older girls. Tonight's dance was just for 4 year olds through 3 grade. To say Curly has been excited about this dance ( or ball as she call it) is the understatement of the century! She has been over the moon ever since I told her about it. I had her try on dresses in her closet last week to see what she would like to wear. Surprisingly her flower girl dress from Aunt Lauren's wedding a year and a half ago still fit. WOO HOO! It was just a few inches shorter on her but it was still plenty long enough to wear.

Yesterday Daddy came down with a sinus infection. He quickly got on antibiotics. He still felt awful this morning and stayed home sick from work. I was praying hard he would fell better by tonight. Curly was confused as to why Daddy was not at work and still asleep at 8 this morning. She walked into his room and said "Daddy when are you getting up?". He replied " In just a little while. I need a bit more rest.". To which she reasoned "Oh right, you need to rest up for the ball tonight". Yes Curly that's exactly why Daddy needed his rest. Thankfully he did feel much better this evening and he was able to escort his little princess to the ball. On their way home, Daddy mentioned to Curly that next year at the ball she will be too big for him to pick her up and dance as much he did tonight. She excitedly replied "You mean we go AGAIN next year!".
