Daddy Daughter Dance 2016

For the fourth year in a row, our stake hosted a Daddy Daughter Dance in February.  Usually it falls on the same Saturday as Lia's friend party, but this year it was a week later.  Although she had a busy day of attending another friend's birthday party and playing in her basketball game, Lia was super excited and anxious to head out for an evening with her daddy!  We got her all dolled up in one of my friend, Sarah's, beautiful hand-me-down dresses from her two daughters and even curled Lia's hair which seriously happens twice a year.  She looked so beautiful AND grown-up!  I can't get over how Lia does not look like a little girl anymore.  She really looks like an eight year old and is turning into such a wonderful, little lady!  Lia and her dad headed out right at 6 p.m. for an evening of dancing and snacking on chocolate and strawberry milk and every kind of cookie under the sun.  They even stopped for shakes at Sonic on the way home.  I'm so glad that they share this evening together every year.  Just think, in two more years, Lia and Ella can be going to this dance together!  :-)
