DADDY DAUGHTER ROYAL BALL

Saturday night was something our family had been looking forward to since they announced the date and the theme! The annual Daddy Daughter Dance. This year's theme was A Royal Ball. All the little girls were so excited for this theme. So we quickly did some online shopping and had some ball gowns sent to the house to try on.  I made sure to not influence Elle in her decision because I wanted her to love her dress. She had a strong favorite and so we went with that one and I went about accessorizing the dress for the night! I found her a little cape to wear since it was supposed to be cold and then also got her some new shoes with a little sparkle.  I also ordered a corsage with her dress color noted for Kenny to present to her the night of the dance. We also went to Claire's the Friday afternoon after school so Elle could use some of her gift cards she received for her birthday and she ended up picking out a rhinestone choker for the ball. She loved it so much she wore it all day Saturday in preparation!

The night before Kenny offered to send Elle and me to do have our nails done and we happily obliged! It was fun getting pampered together as part of the preparations.

Stopped for hot cocoa and coffee before nails.

Elle did some reading while we were there.

Pretty little corsage. 

Drying hair before the dance.

I plugged up my curling wand thinking I would be able to curl Elle's hair even though I can't really  curl my own hair. After a couple of attempts I quickly realized I may of gotten myself into trouble and texted Lacey to see if she happened to be over at Craig and Ava's. Luckily she was and came right over with her friend Carrie to save the day! She did such a great job and Elle's hair looked so pretty! After hair it was time for just the tiniest amount of mascara and blush and then we put on her dress. Daddy was getting ready so we did lots of solo pictures!

Lacey working her magic!

All ready for the ball. She loved this blue dress. She never said it 

but I think because it was so Cinderella-esque.

Few pictures in her cape too.

Kenny got all ready and then snuck out and into the car and drove the car around to the front door and rang the door bell to pick her up and give her his corsage. She loved the corsage and we had to explain to her what it was.

Lots of pictures with Daddy before they left.

Walker was dying to go to the ball too and was so sad when they left.

Reports from Kenny and Elle were that the dance was super fun. Kenny was sore the next day from all the dancing he did with Elle. Apparently she was really into the lifts and twirls that night.  After the dance they went for ice cream and then had a Daddy Daughter sleepover where they watched Leap before falling asleep. It was a perfect evening that meant so much to both of them!
