Now that Emma is eight years old she is able to attend Activity Days at church every other week. It's something she looks forward to doing and all the girls get to help plan which activities they would like to do. There are 13 little girls in her group and the one thing they all really wanted to do was hold a Daddy Daughter dance. Officially it was called the Daddy Daughter Dessert Date Dance! This dance was something that Emma was highly anticipating for weeks! The only glitch was that Daddy had to be out of town all week for work at the Police Academy. This was very disappointing for Emma and Mark. We thought about having Emma's Grampa or one of her uncles come and take her as an "adopted" daddy, but that really didn't feel the same. So, on a whim, Mark called ahead of time to the Director of the Academy and explained our predicament. Fortunately, the Director is a family man himself and had no problem with allowing Mark to leave a day early in order to be back in time to accompany his daughter to the dance. Hooray! The day before all the girls got together and made banana cream and chocolate cream pies to serve and also helped out getting the decorations organized. Emma got all dressed up the night of and looked absolutely adorable!
