daddy + daughter = the best

It's not the first time that I've earned the" Worst Mom of the Year Award"... you can read about the first award here. But this actually turned out OK. I missed the deadline for the neighborhood Annual Daddy Daughter Dance. Emma and her sweet friend had never gone before so they would not really know what they had missed... thankfully. SO - we made our own date night and "dance". The girls and the dads got all dressed up. They went to a nice Italian restaurant and returned to a somewhat transformed living room all set up to do a little dancing. The boys stayed back with the mommies to get things ready. Everyone seemed to have fun...

Love that we have sweet friends to share such fun girl memories with. Love that the brothers never complained or said "what about me?" and were happy to stay back with the moms and hang out together. Love that the dads were SO great and were super good sports about the whole thing... and even danced with their girls. Precious. Love that we missed the deadline and had a simple evening...

What a wonderful idea, I teared up reading that. What a great memory she will carry the rest of her life.

you have no idea what a bad mom is, lady.

if you were like most of us, you would have missed the deadline...and done little to nothing to compensate for it. you are outstanding. and that memory for your daughter and hubby...priceless.
