So Grown Up

Before heading back to school, Daddy and Hallie got the chance for one last hurrah for this year’s holiday season. One of the local Junior Girl Scout Troops was sponsoring a Father-Daughter Dance and had invited the Brownies to attend. Dad and Hallie were both very excited and very adorable. Dressed in their finest, they posed for Mom’s camera before heading to the Elks lodge for the dance (could it be 1955 or what?) It was very sweet that Dad was worried he might forget the picture package money but he patted his coat pocket a couple times for reassurance.

Hallie met up with her good friends Madison and Emily and they had a fabulous, silly, girly time. Other than being a bit pouty over not winning a door prize, Hallie was all giggles, crazy dancing and smiles. Her review of the food and music was favorable as well. (Mom got more out of her than Dad - shocker) For sure it was an evening well spent since, in addition, Mommy and Anna danced at home because she “can’t be a Brownie until next time.” And, Dad and Hallie said they’d love to do it again. So they went to a dinner-dance and all Mom ‘got was this_______ (insert t-shirt slogan of your choice) key chain’. The best key chain ever....It looks like this.
