Last Friday, my little girl had a date.
Mom helped her get ready. We started with a long nap (mom got in on that action, too!). We moved on to a bubble bath, pedicure and the perfect hair-do.
While I was getting her ready, she looked at me totally serious and said, "Am I getting married today?"
My heart fell into my stomach. I was already panicking about the prom and she had fast forwarded into marriage.
Hair done, toes dried, dress pressed. The time had come for Hadley's date to pick her up.
The doorbell rings and I walk Hadley to the door where Daddy is standing on the other side, flowers in hand.
Hadley beamed and I fell in love with my husband all over again. He took her to the Father/Daughter Banquet at church. They ate dinner, listened to a speaker and danced.
It was magical as you can see in these pictures. I know Hadley will certainly have high standards for the man that picks her up for the prom - not to mention a husband. That's because Daddy is laying some serious ground work. Any man in Hadley's life will have some big shoes to fill.
Thanks, Chad for showing Hadley what love is! You are a great daddy!

That is the most precious thing I've ever heard.
What a beautiful picture with Chad holding her!! It was a wonderful night for Daddy's and their daughters. Getting "sugar" from Hadley was sweet too.
I LOVE THIS! Eric has done this with each of the girls before. I believe it was when they were about 4. We did not do the whole "coming to the door with flowers" routine, but now I am thinking we need to do it all again and do it right. Thanks for sharing. I have to say the picture with Chad holding her is a KEEPER!
