Every year Monkey and Daddy go to the Daddy/Daughter Ball.
[intlink id=”318″ type=”post”]The first year[/intlink], she thought she was a princess, and she was SO excited.
[intlink id=”1036″ type=”post”] Last year[/intlink] she thought she and Daddy were getting married. There were lots of tears months later when she realized he was already married. 😉
This year, as soon as we picked out her dress, she said she wanted to wear shoes with sticks.
After pausing for about ten seconds, I realized that she wanted to wear high heels.
I searched and searched, and although I did find high heels in her size at David’s Bridal, I wasn’t about to shell out $50, so I settled for these cute wedges:
I should add, my sister took all of these pictures, as I was busy primping the girl. Thanks, sissy!
In the car today I asked Daddy how he’d like Monkey’s hair done, and he said some kind of bun. Her hair is so long and thick, so it’s very dramatic when it’s all pulled up. I didn’t want it to look like last years low ponytail, so we went with curls. This was a fun idea in my head, but once I started spiral curling little pieces I quickly realized how time consuming this decision would be. But, we got it done, and I think she looked amazing! Of course, I’m a bit bias, as I think she looks just as amazing in a ponytail and PJ’s. 😉
Did any of you fellow Castle Rockers make it to the ball in this crazy snow? I’d love to hear how your night went!
Jason and Avery went and I can’t wait to hear all about it. They went with her best little friend and her dad. I’m sure it will be an evening they will always cherish!!
I was this year Olivia’s first reaction was I’m to big…. Then it her mind changed daily on going vs not going… she decided in the end no but it worked out with Frank unable to walk… PS I found cute heels for girls at the rack for about $15.00 a few months back.
PS great pics!
I especiallly love the last pic of her kissing little brother goodbye. So sweet!
She’s so beautiful. You can really see her gracefulness in these pics. I love the pic of Trav kissing her hand… sigh… Every princess needs her prince charming and I think she has 2 😉 Was it last year that brother was watching her out of the window? You did a great job getting her ready, can you give me tips on how to do my hair??
I must admit witnessing the first getting ready for daddy/daughter ball it made me a little sad. She is growing up so fast and she is so beautiful. A few times tonight I had a glimpse of her prom in about 10 years. I am so proud of who she is becoming and she has a great mom and dad! I know she will have a blast tonight with her fav guy!
Lots of love,
Aunt J
