First Daddy Daughter Date for Blakely

November 8th: Edventure Storybook Ball

A couple of weeks ago we got an invitation in the mail for the Storybook Ball at Edventure. It was gold and sparkly, and it had a picture of a castle and carriage embossed on it. Blakely went ballistic! You would have thought that she had been invited to a real ball!! Rich and I knew that she had to go, and we thought this would be the perfect opportunity to start the Daddy-Daughter-Date tradition with Blakely.





 

To say that Blakely was excited about going is a mega understatement. She asked me about "the ball" every day for 2 weeks!

On the night of the ball, I helped Blakely get "princess ready!" We found her favorite dress in her dress-up box, a tiara and some hairspray glitter. She kept telling me "I so beautiful. I so beautiful." Oh the modesty of a toddler!

I DO think you are beautiful little princess!!

One of the biggest surprises of the night was Richard! He surprised me and Blakely by dressing up as her Prince! He found some old boy scout metals and pins and attached them to his jacket and pinned his graduation regalia to his sleeve! So so sweet. Made this mama cry to see how much he loves his girl!! THAT is a good Daddy.

Blakely was thrilled! She loved her "Prince Charming!"

 

Richard also got her a teeny, tiny corsage that matched her outfit.

She was so excited to have pink roses on her wrist. Daddy really hit this one out of the park!

Our beautiful little princess. I'm not sure prom-prep someday is going to be half as exciting!

Goodbye little princess!! Have fun at the ball!!

 

From Daddy's Phone: Blakely met princesses, but her favorite was definitely Ariel.

Dinner at the Mad Hatter's Tea Party!! Mac N' Cheese, Cookies and Lemonade??? Blakely was in heaven!

Hurry home Cinderella!! The spell will be broken at Midnight! So happy that Richard has started this special tradition with his girls!! Can't wait to see where the next Daddy-Daughter-Date takes them!
