Daddy Daughter Ball

 Sometimes getting ready is the best part.  Bubble bath, sparkles all over and getting your hair done.

 She is growing up so fast. 

She picked her own dress.  It had to twirl. 

She is wearing dangly earrings for the first time and felt so special. 

She looks forward to this dance all year.  This is her fourth year going with her daddy.

On the way into the dance Madolyn was watching other daddies arriving with two or three daughters. 

She turned to daddy and said, "I am glad I have two brothers". 

What little girl doesn't want her daddy all to herself? 

I love that they have this.  She feels like a princess and she even calls her daddy her prince. 

Not a bad way to grow up. 

I love you Kelly for being the kind of dad that dances with your daughter.  For making her feel special.  She will grow up knowing she is a treasure.

    Amen! She looks so adorable and your hubby looks handsome as well! Father, daughter bonds are the most cherished. I look up to my dad so much and over the years I have noticed I am so much like him and it makes me smile! This was such a sweet post! Memories to have forever!

    I’ll bet Maddy, who looked so lovely, taught her wonderful daddy some moves on the dance floor that included lots of twirling!! What a special night for them both – you can see it in their eyes!

    I love daddy daughter dates! I guess yours was a ball though. Even fancier. The girls just love them.
    I have an Inga. Her name is Flora. She is old and tattered. But I just think she’s great. Inga looks great!
    Have a great day.

    J., what a beautiful girl! What a blessing it is for her to have a good relationship with Daddy, and vice versa. I pray that it stays that way forever!

    These pictures are just precious!!! We have a house of 5 boys so I have always longed for these special days. But maybe as the boys get older the mom and son thing will make them feel special and not just because I know which StarWars Legos are cool! 😉

    How wonderful! Kelly is the kind of dad that we need so much in this country. God bless him. We know his family will be blessed because of him! Thank you for this precious post!

    You need a tissue alert for this post. I have 3 boys and a 14 year old daughter. She loves her daddy. My grandfather filled that role for me and he just passed away. Thank you for sharing such a special moment. She is a beautiful little girl.
