Daddy/Daughter Dance!

Almost caught up....

February 10, 2013 was the Daddy/Daughter Dance.  You have to be three to go, so it was a special date just with Daddy and Marin.  To Marin, it was just as exciting as Prom.  She was SO excited to go with her Daddy again this year.  We picked out a special boutonniere for him- red roses because according to Marin, "That's like you wear when you get married."  She wore her favorite dress and sparkle shoes and got to carry a special purse which had nothing in it up Ariel "lipstick".  Jason also picked out a pretty corsage for Marin which delighted her because it had purple flowers in it to match her dress.

Jason and Marin met five other dads and daughters at Cotto A Legna, a restaurant near our house, before hand.  All of the kids ordered Mac and Cheese, except Charley, an adorable three year old friend of ours who ordered Calamari.  Jason reports that all of the girls sat at the table with perfect manners the entire time.  The dads who also have boys, couldn't believe it, and swear 6 boys the same age would have done nothing of the sort.

When it came time for the dance, they joined about 1,000 other dads and daughters in the High School Gym for dancing, pictures with dad, punch and cookies.  When it came time for the hokey pokey, the DJ organized all 1,000 people to make a giant circle in the gym, and apparently Marin took it upon herself to lead it for everyone.  Ran right out to the middle.  It took her friends Chloe, Violet and Parker all of 4 seconds to join her.  Jason says it was hilarious.

Emilie and I stayed home to snuggle on the couch, watch the Grammys and order a pizza.  Which was special for us, since Marin doesn't like pizza.  Both Jason and Marin had a great time and can't wait until next year!
