Father Daughter Dance Lexington,SC 2016

How Sweet is this??!! My older daughter and husband went to a Father-Daughter Dance years ago at her old school in Florida and i thought it was one of the most memorable things she had done with her dad! I still have the photo hanging in the house! I was thinking of contacting my youngest girls school and asking if they would consider doing this as a school fundraiser. So I  was very pleased to see this flyer at the Lexington Public Main Library yesterday!! Here is the thing...even if you your child does not have a father in their life they could always go with a brother,uncle,grandpa,or friend of family! Anyone special will work!  Check out the Library Site to buy tickets. I am so excited for my lil one to experience this with her dad. It's going to be her Vday gift this yr!
