The Daddy-Daughter Dance

Makena has been so excited for the Daddy-Daughter Dance since she started Kindergarten in August.  When we bought her Christmas dress in November she told me that her red Christmas dress is what she was wearing to the dance.  She's a planner! :) 
Before the dance, the kids and I went to Miss Ginny to have Makena get her hair done and see some of her friends who were also getting their hair done.  (This was a huge treat for Makena!)  I loved seeing the excitement in the girls as they giggled and ran around waiting for their turn.  Brody and his friends Carly and Jax ran around playing together and having lots of fun! 

After Makena had her hair done and the girls posed for pictures, we headed back home to see Ryan.  Ryan brought Makena a dozen pink roses and looked awesome in his new suit!  (Thanks to a GREAT sale at Macy's!)  He really went all out for Makena by bringing her flowers and taking her to dinner before hand.  Then he stood around talking to the other dad's he knows while she danced with her friends.  He said he did get to dance a little bit with Makena.  Then after the dance, Makena and Daddy went to get ice cream at McDonalds with some friends from our neighborhood.  At the end of the night, Makena was so happy and felt so loved.  She came in the house with a huge smile on her face, got her pjs on, and fell fast asleep!
