Daddy Daughter Dance

The Saturday before Valentine's Day Brooklyn and I went to our second Daddy Daughter dance and had a blast. It was a very fun night and I can't wait to do it again next year. We ended up going with a bunch of friends which made the evening that much better. It is a fun night where we can all dress up, go out to dinner and then dance the night away. Last year we went by ourselves and although we had a great time, going with a bunch of other people was a lot better.


Here are al the girls at the dance. I think all but one are in Brooklyn's grade and they all go to the same school. She plays soccer with a couple of them and does lots of different things with them. I know that she had a blast spending the whole night with them. I almost felt a little left out this year. Last year it was all about her and me and this year it was all about her and her friends. I was thinking that she is way to young to be over hanging out with her dad already but she had a great time and that is what matters most.

Brooklyn busting out the moves. It was amazing to watch her dance and see her do all the moves from the various songs. I don't know where she picked up all those moves but for every song that came on she seemed to know all the moves for that song. She got very into the songs and was cutting some serious rug.


This is probably my favorite picture of the night. If you look at the expression on her face you can tell that she is having the time of her life. This makes it all worth it.


I did manage to sneak a dance in every once and awhile with Brooklyn. She did spend most of the night dancing with her friends but allowed me to have a couple dances as well. I was surprised by the number of dads that just sat there the whole night and didn't dance with their daughters once. I can't even imagine just sitting there and feel bad for those daughters. It really defeats the purpose of the experience.


Here we are at the restaurant before the dance. We had our own little date night and made an evening of it. I think there was a total of 13 of us that went together and really made the whole night a lot of fun. I know that Brooklyn loved hanging with her friends the whole night and had a ton of fun.

I hope that Brooklyn remembers these times as I know that I will. The kids grow up so fast and I need to make sure that I take advantage of all these things while I can. It will only be a matter of time before she wants nothing to do with her dad.
