On Friday Dan and Hollyn went to the Daddy Daughter Valentines Dance at the YMCA. It has become a tradition for them to go each year, and every year Hollyn comes home beaming from ear to ear. Hollyn loves to dress up in her favorite dress and Dan even lets her pick out his clothes too. This year Dan came out in jeans and a nice button down shirt and asked Hollyn if she like what he picked out. She looked at him and said, "Dan, I really want you to wear your Easter tie." So Dan went back in the closet and got out his Easter tie and nicer clothes. They had a great time dancing and eating cake, m&m's, candy hearts, and drinking punch. Hollyn couldn't stop talking about it for days. She sure loves her dad. When they got home from the dance Hollyn was able to stay up late because she had earned her 40 Broadbent Beans. Each day she has the opportunity to earn beans by making her bed, putting her toys away, being a good helper, clearing her dishes, practicing her letters and so forth. She can also loose beans for not making great choices. Every time she earns 40 beans she gets to stay up later and watch a movie of her choice. This time we watched Image That and had home made ice cream shakes. It was a cute movie that Dan and I even enjoyed.

Too stinkin' cute. Did she really call him Dan?
OK, that is so cute! She is totally a daddy's girl! My girls would love doing someting like that with their daddy. My girls had those same dresses for my brother-in-laws wedding....and it's their favorite dresses too!
That pix is so darling of both---Hollyn and Dan have the best daddy-daughter relationship---She is so grown up! Can't wait to see you all in person--just 10 more days! love ya--Mamas Hall
Yes Anna, she really calls her dad Dan a lot of the time. Especially when she is trying to scold him for things like leaving the toilet seat up.
Cute! A great tradition you have. I'm sure she just loves Daddy time. Clever bean incentive too.
Geri this is so CUTE! Hollyn looks so grown up going to a dance :) I bet she just loved it!
What a good idea to have her earn beans for different rewards! What a great idea. I hope you guys are surviving this winter... im SO cold! Crazy to think that these are your last COUPLE months here! WOW! call us anytime... we need to call you TOO!
Cute Geri! So funny that she calls him Dan. Cannot believe how big she is getting.
