After Dinner

August 24th, 2009 @ 11:33 am by Ms. Dahlia

After dinner, it was…

… time for dancing! (Big surprise, I know. No way you guessed that one.)

My youngest brother, pianist extraordinaire, played the song for our first dance. Ben Fold’s “The Luckiest”, which may be a bit cliche- but is one of my brother’s signature songs that he plays whenever he is around a piano.

Our dancing lessons really paid off.

It was so fantastic to have that time together on the dance floor.

Following our dance, I danced with my dad while the band played “Fly Me To the Moon”.

This is my favorite picture ever of my dad and me.

My dad and I used to attend Girl Scout Father-Daughter dances when I was much younger—but both of us were more of the wallflower type. But the lessons that Mr. Dahlia and I took, and my parents are still taking, really paid off.

The crowd really got into it, as well.

Mr. Dahlia’s cousins and mom

Random people I don’t know. Seriously—they are friends of Mr. Dahlia’s parents, and I have no idea who they are. And Mr. Dahlia doesn’t want to admit it, but he doesn’t know who they are either.

At the end of the dance, I gave my dad a hug.

As did Mr. Dahlia.

And then the party really got started!
