my first official picture of me without my braces…i have been avoiding the camera for 2 years! Cooper took this one of us…notice he captured the Lego house he built! I’m surprised he even got us in the picture!dance3

at one point during the party i noticed a mom waving into the bathroom….when i peeked in….i found cooper…..he NEVER even thought to close the door!

She is just beautiful...and BEAMING! How incredibly special. WHERE do these daddy/daughter dances take place? You're the 3rd person who's mentioned one. I know BSD would be ALL OVER a chance to do this with the ballerinas.

oh my goodness, SO CUTE!!! Believe me, it just keeps getting better and better, too - at least so far I can say that ;-)

Jennifer said...

Very glad to see a picture of you, Jess! Caroline looks so happy and that shot of Cooper is priceless (and I'm sure would happen in our household!).

Angie said...

LOVE this!! My daughter got to go to her very first Father/Daughter dance Friday night! It was such a special evening for them both!!!

Jenny said...

So adorable! My daughter and hubby have gone to one before too, they love it. Just think of the memories they'll have when they are older! Way to go showing us your smile. So pretty. Happy for you. That potty pic is a keeper for sure. Save a copy for his high school graduation party, he'll probably try to destroy them before then!

boys will be boys right:) I will promise you though at some point they do develop the need for privacy and start to close the door! It just takes a lot longer than with girls!

Caroline looks so pretty. .. and happy!
