Daddy Daughter Dance 2016 {Wichita Style}

Alli and I had a fantastic time at the Daddy Daughter Ball tonight!  The two of us are masters of the Chicken Dance, YMCA, Limbo and the Twist (seen below).  We really cut a rug.  

This was a for real Ball so of course, a corsage was a must!

Such a beauty!  I pray that God will just freeze time for me and keep things just like they are right now.  Only one boy in her life.....Daddy!

The mini cupcakes were super scrumptious.  Alli had to get one of each color.  I had such a wonderful time with my little girl tonight and just treasure these opportunities.  Time is going by fast....can't believe she is nine years old (neither can she.....I love that she doesn't want to grow up).  

Alli got a new camera for her birthday and took her first "old-school selfie" with it before the date :-)

Daddy Daughter Dance

The third year of the Daddy-Daughter Dance was a huge hit!

Alli could not wait to wear her new, fancy, pink dress.

The sun was shining, it was warm and Daddy and Alli were so excited for their big date!

Alli felt like such a little princess that she had to show off her graceful dance moves in the street.

Of course, no dance would be complete without Mommy taking loads of pictures of Alli with her date! 

I think it is safe to say Alli is definitely a Daddy's girl!!!

Eli, on the other hand, was not interested in posing for any pictures ~ he wanted to get back to his cars!!!

No real pictures from the dance itself as Daddy and Alli were too busy dancing and giggling.

I hear that Alli really has some moves now!

After the dance, the two enjoyed some yummy frozen yogurt with the Huber gals.

Alli said it was an awesome night and both had lots of fun!

Daddy Daughter Dance

This evening was the annual Daddy-Daugther Dance in Port Orchard.

This was the first year Alli & G went.

All day long, Alli was bouncing off the walls, soooooo excited for the dance.

She desperately wanted to get in her dress but settled for her new bathrobe until after she ate.

Alli & G before the dance

Smooches for Daddy.

Practicing their dance moves ~ I'm not sure who was more excited!

All ready for her first dance ~ my baby girl is growing up so quickly!

Of course, she had to throw in a silly face to remind me she is only four ;-)

Enjoying punch and cookies with E and her "very best friend A" before boogying.

In nearly every picture, these two are holding hands while dancing ~ too cute!

Really getting into the dancing

Dancing with Daddy to Somewhere Over the Rainbow

After the dance, the Rutherford crew decided to go to Cold Stone for ice cream and fountain fun . . .

I think these smiles sum up the evening perfectly!!!

Alli crashed when she got home but not before telling me how much fun she had.

I think she and G are already looking forward to next year's dance ;-)
