Daddy Daughter Dance

Oh my word... So I'm still trying to catch up... I have such good intentions of blogging, but as you can imagine- being a momma to three kiddos can zap the minutes away! :)

February
Every year our church holds a Dad/Daughter Dance. It is such a wonderful tradition that Emme has gotten to participate in for the past 3 years... and this year was Kate's first time! I swear it is much more of an event for momma than it is for the girls! But I absolutely love the whole idea and I LIVE for traditions! <3 p="">
This year was especially fun for Emme... She has been looking forward to "da dau-duh dance" since last year! I even made sure that Derrick had gotten her a corsage...

Derrick said that Emme had a great time. She was a little overwhelmed by the amount of people... but had a good time... EXCEPT... for when she saw a little baby (10months maybe) wearing a tiara. And that's when Em had a melt down... b/c where is MY tiara?! I'm a princess but I don't have a tiara!!! Oh my word! Um... yes. Derrick said she had to take her outside to calm down bc she was DISTRAUGHT! Haha... as a matter of fact... it was the ONLY thing she said to me about the dance... "Mommy... you didn't get me a tiara!" O___o And... months later... she STILL reminds me that I need to have a tiara ready for next year! ::smh:: Diva much?! ;)

Kate enjoyed her time with her dad as well. But... still being young, it didn't make as much of an impact as it did with Em. I'm sure next year will be awesome for her!

My little beauty...

Such a ham!

My man!

So excited for her first corsage!

No.Paparazzi.

Melt your heart cuteness right here!

Love this girl...

...Princess Party...

I figure I should start with the most recent thing... and update backwards until I get bored of updating...and/or just plain can't remember enough to update! :)

Our little baby Emme is no longer a little baby. Em turned a whopping THREE years old last month! Mommy still can't believe that she is growing up so fast. This year... daddy convinced Em to have a "Princess Birthday"... which...honestly didn't take a whole lot of convincing seeing as she is OBSESSED with all things princess.

Preparing for this party was stressful...who am I kidding...planning any party is stressful! But Emme's birthdays are especially overwhelming because I usually don't even think about planning them until after the holidays...and that only leaves me a couple of weeks to plan/prepare/prep everything! This year was especially so because Derrick went to Arkansas for school for a week... two weeks before the party. So mama was left home with three kids and a million rolls of tulle! :)

All in all... the party was beautiful! Emme loved being a princess and even took it to heart by being UBER bossy and having a divafit! It.was.awesome. :) We are so blessed to have such a beautiful, smart, and funny girl in our lives. She loves to sing songs and dance and play with her brother and sister. She's the quietest, shyest...yet most outgoing, loudest (depending on who's around) little riot you've ever met!
