They provide an opportunity for the daddies to take their daughters on a date. To model for their little girls just how a guy is supposed to treat them.
And my man did it up this year.
He asked Tatum to go on a special date with him. Then he arranged to get dressed, snuck out of the house, and knocked on the door to 'ask if she was ready' for their date on Friday night.
He brought flowers (by way of a wrist corsage) for her as well.
And jewelry. That he put on her himself. {If I wasn't already in love with that man I would have been after seeing the effort he went through to make that precious 5 year old feel oh-so-special!!}
And he took her out to eat to the restaurant of her choosing. I think it ended up being Chick-fil-A. And she couldn't play on the playground because 'fancy girls all dressed up can't play on the playground and get all messy'.
At the dance, a friend of ours took some wonderful pictures of them dancing...
The church family life center was decorated beautifully (so I'm told) and there were craft activities for the girls to do and lots of candy and an ice cream bar. I was also told that Tatum went for four bowls of ice cream...or rather bowls of toppings with a smattering of ice cream at the bottom. Take a look at the picture below and you be the judge??
They had a remarkable time. I'm not sure how Daddy managed to make it through dancing with his princess after some of the daddy-daughter songs he told me they played, but he did.
I had a work banquet to attend this same night as well, and when I got home Tatum wasn't asleep yet, so she gave me the quick highlights of her night. I could tell by those highlights that this will be one of those nights that just sticks with her.
Watch out, boys. We're going to teach this little girl just how a princess is supposed to be treated!
