Daddy/Daughter Ball

What happens when you hand a little girl, who is obsessed with princesses, a random invitation and you say it's for a ball?? You better find a way to take her to the ball! This became Mikey's mission when he quickly realized that his little girl was going to hold him to it. I kept thinking about what homecoming or prom they could crash together so that she could go to the "ball" her daddy had mistakingly implanted in her mind. We saw an ad for a Daddy Daughter Dance at Bent Tree Bible Church and knew it would be perfect!

Mikey made her a new invitation and handed it to her after her nap. She was thrilled!


After a quick trip to the park after naptime we headed home so this fairy godmother could change Ava into a princess.

She picked out a purple shirt, purple tie, and blue necklace for daddy to wear to the ball. She told him that "he looked so handsome and that everyone was going to love his outfit!".

I wanted to go so badly so I could experience it with her but no moms or sons were allowed so Connor and I stayed behind. 

After a few pictures they were off on their way. I waited patiently for all the pictures that Mikey sent me by text of their evening!

Before the ball they had a special dinner at "chicken fil a"

Mikey and I were both expecting their time at the ball to be brief do to lack of activities but he was pleasantly surprised. He said there must have been about 1000 dads and daughters there! We had no idea it would be that big or be as much fun as it was! He said he would do it again every weekend if they had it!

Ava got her nails painted....

Made lots of crafts and played games.....

Did some dancing and hula hooping....

Ate cookies, drank lemonade, and took some much needed breaks....(just look at how exhausted she looks!)

Took some pictures in between by the baptizing pool....

And loved every minute with her handsome prince. :) 

This will definitely become a yearly tradition for these two!!
