eparing for the day for a month. Three trips to the tailor, two hours getting fake nails put on, and an hour trying to figure out how to wear the hair culminated in a stunning "are you sure you're ten?" daughter.I fought the urge to cry when she walked down the stairs. I am pretty sure Larry had to fight it, too. I also really wanted to sneak my way to the Renaissance, but knew this was daddy time. The play-by-play I was treated to upon their return was enough.
The entrance to the ballroom had been transformed into a red carpet paparazzi-filled venue. They posed next to a giant Oscar statue before entering the glitzy ballroom. Each girl received a wrist corsage and the dads got a boutonniere. Dinner, dancing and singing made the two hours go by fast. I asked if they danced together. Larry said he managed a couple of dances with her, but most of the time the girls danced together in a big circle. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of awards. Several girls were given a mini Oscar for their outfits, like 'Best Couple', 'Sparkliest Dress', 'Highest Heeled Shoes'. The final award was 'Best Red Carpet Dress' and it went to Katie. Larry said she was just beaming.
Next year the twins will be joining Girl Scouts with yours truly as their troop leader. When I told Larry he'd have three beauties on his arms next year, he rolled his eyes. Though, by the giant smile he has in the picture I don't think he'll be too put out about going again.
