Last night was wonderful. Last night, I got to spend a wonderful night with two of the most important women (girls) in my life. Last night I got got to attend my first Daddy-Daughter Dance at the Children's Museum in Bryan.
We were picked up in The Real Estate Group's company limo at 7:00 PM by our gracious driver Rebecca Linton, Bella's mother, and Bella and Allen, Bella's father. We then proceeded to pick up Tommmy Lanhart and his daughter Haley. We arrived at the event and enjoyed festivities including making candy bracelets, coloring handbags and had a dinner that featured everything from chicken breasts to mac and cheese. ;) Although dancing was the featured topic many other festivities consumed most of the evening.
We were even featured on the local news during our "prom-style photos."
It was an incredible experience. Alyssa was not feeling well. She was not her normal self. Lisa doped her up with some Benadril before we left, but she was much better after the events began.
Julia was indeed her normal self. She made a new friend in Bella (Isabella) and also reunited with an old one in Haley. Julia is great at making friends - better than I've ever been. People are drawn to her. She's a leader, a friend to everyone. By the end of the evening she was invited to go to Haley's house when everyone except for Haley's father, was aware that she was invited.
Kids have a way of living in their own world. Sometimes I wish I was still 7 years old and my biggest concern was how to spell "igloo". Life has a way of making things seem much more serious than they really are.
All in all, we ended up having a great time topped off with a sparkling apple cider champagne style toast on the way home! We are already looking forward to next year!
