It's Official

Emma is only ever allowed to go on dates with her father, grandfathers, or uncles.

See why?

 

Our church had a Daddy-Daughter dance tonight for the 8 to 11-year old girls, but since Emma's dad is on the wrong side of the planet to be able to take her, Uncle Dave (Kevan's sister's husband) stepped in to be her date. He even brought her a sweet little wrist corsage.

Dave's brother lives in our stake and has a daughter Emma's age (and the two girls are great friends), so they went on a double date to dinner and then the dance.

All ready to go!

 

I have to confess that the main reason I included this particular shot is to show off the great view of the sunset you can see out the back window. Sorry your view isn't as great as ours. (Unless you're one of our neighbors, that is; in which case, wasn't the sunset beautiful tonight?)

See that smile on her face? It's been there ever since Dave came in the door, and I imagine it will be there all night.

Thanks, Dave, for taking such good care of our girl. We are so grateful to have family so close and so willing to help fill some of the holes Kevan's absence leaves.

  

 But seriously, no one but family is ever allowed to take this girl out. She's too pretty for our own good!
