Mackenzie's First Dance

Well last night was a first for Mackenzie she got to go to a dance. The ASYMCA (Armed Services YMCA) did their 2nd annual Father Daughter dance and I told Josh he had to take her this year. Last year she didn't go because Josh didn't think she was old enough to enjoy it, but this year she enjoyed it even though they were only there for about 2 hours. The dance was from 6-10, but we all knew she wouldn't make it that long because she woke up at 630am and then took about an hour nap so by the time Josh and Mackenzie left she was yawning. Actually she was yawning the whole hour I was doing her hair because she was tired, but she sat and let me finish her hair and she looked adorable if you ask me. From what I've heard (since I was not part of the dance) they got there and got their professional pictures done and then went to find a seat. Josh said they sat down for about 5 minutes while some instructional dancing lessons were being given that Kenzie probably wouldn't have understood (in other words Josh didn't want to learn the dance). After the instructional dance was done they gave out ice cream and after Kenzie had her ice cream she went to the dance floor with her daddy. Apparently the conversation of the hour with Kenzie and Josh was "daddy I'm going to dance like a ballerina. How are you going to dance" "Like a pumpkin Mackenzie" "daddy Pumpkins don't dance". She had been asking all week how daddy was going to dance and finally got an answer. Kenzie twirled all over the floor and was so enthralled in twirling that Josh said he'd have to call her name because she'd be so far away from him that she couldn't find him when she'd stop and look up. The photographers apparently too a lot of pictures of her so I can't wait for them to be loaded on the ASYMCA website to look at her in action. She got a cute picture of her and her daddy from the professional photographer and a nice "Tiffany's" bracelet that he wanted on as soon as she woke up this morning. She had a great time with her daddy and Josh actually said "next year we'll get there earlier" so all in all it was a success and they had a great time together just Daddy and Kenzie.
