Earlier this evening Mr. Rosemary Lane took our little princess to the annual Girl Scout father daughter dance. Grace was so excited about her big date that as soon she came home from school she ran upstairs to put on her new dress, shoes, and white tights. I laughed to myself and then informed her that the dance was still 4 hours away!
I had fun helping Grace get ready for her special night. I blew out her hair out and styled it, and then applied the tiniest bit of mascara and eye shadow to her already beautiful face. When Chris came home he was in shock at how grown up she looked.
He ran up the stairs and donned his suit from the closet.
.
We did the traditional photos coming down the stairs, in front of the fireplace, and getting in the car.
They had a wonderful time!
Here's my happy couple through the years.
My they grow up quickly don't they?
Goodnight Gracie!

Wow, she does look grownup, Barbara, and really beautiful. :) We did the scouting thing at our house for nine years. Our son earned his Eagle Scout -- a great source of pride for us. I hope they have a great time tonight.

Awww. what a sweet post. Your daughter is so beautiful! Her dress is lovely and yes, they grow up way to fast. Soon it will not be Daddy taking her to the dance........Thanks for sharing those special moments. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, she is so delightful. What a pretty girl and how she has grown through the years. It's a good thing and so hard to see at the same time, isn't it. And isn't it funny that Mr. RL doesn't ever look any different!..Happy Weekend..Judy
ReplyDeleteAdorable. I miss those days but continue to have great ones. Watching our Elizabeth dance with her dad/my hubs at her wedding brought all of these memories back. Your daughter is beautiful and it looks like they are both looking forward to their evening.
