Father-Daughter Dance

Last night, our parish held its annual  Father-Daughter Square Dance. That's right, Square Dance, complete with professional caller (who my daughter even said talked "so fast!" lol). 

There were "break" times, I was told, where the girls got to do country line dancing for their dads and even the "hand jive."  :-) 

If my daughter didn't say "it was awesome" fifty times after she got home, she didn't say it once.  She even got to slow dance with her Daddy to "Daddy's Little Girl."  Glad I wasn't there.  I could never keep a dry eye during that song when others dance to it, let alone our little girl.  But, I probably would have paid to be a fly on the wall to see my hubby (and a few hundred other dads) do-si-do-ing.  lol!!!  :-)  All for their little girls!

How wonderful that they even gave the girls corsages.  Our daughter calls it her "flower bracelet" and put in the fridge.  I hope it lasts a few days for her.  But, even if it doesn't, the memories will last a lifetime.

Flashback: New Years' Eve

It has become a New Years' Eve tradition for my family to go bowling. Our local alley has a "Family New Years' Celebration" from 6-9 pm, complete with food, lots of blinking lights, party hats, noisemakers and of course, bowling. :-) It is a fun evening that not only involves the kids, but tires them, too. :-) I, for one, was just glad that I didn't completely humiliate myself and did manage a couple of strikes to outshine my couple of gutter balls.

Some good friends joined us. Our children are all friends, so it makes for an even more enjoyable evening for all. May 2011 be as filled with family, friends and fellowship.
