The Shindig: Part Three

Well, after all these pictures I still haven't shared what is the most important one according to Brooke.

The First Dance

Like Cinderella and Prince Charming...they are ready for their 'happily ever after' now.

After twirling around the dance floor to a Texas Two Step, he kisses his Bride.

Time for the Father/Daughter dance.  She chose the music.  "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw.  While Jim was barely able to hold it together on the dance floor, I sobbed sitting on my hay bale and watching. 

It was so appropriate.

Then we had the Mother/Son dance and Kim chose their song.  She made him laugh with her selection of  "Long Line of Losers" by Kevin Fowler.

Then it was time for the money dance.  All of the kids wanted to dance with Bri at once.

Meagan even made her brother pay for the priviledge.

Not too bad.  They racked up $100 to spend on their honeymoon!

The party lasted well into the night.  Here is Jim dancing with all three of his girls to his favorite song by Colt Ford.  "Dirt Road Anthem": the orginal as he likes to call it.  He thinks Jason Aldean stole it!  LOL!!  Oh well, gotta love him.

Most of the crowd left around 11 and by 1 it was mostly the immediate family left at the party.  When we saw Davin trying to get comfortable on the swing to go to sleep, we knew it was time to pack it up and head home!

It was a wonderful evening!

In case you have never heard the Tim McGraw song before, I'll share the lyrics so you can see the reason I was sobbing.

My Little Girl
written by Tim McGraw and Tom Douglas

Gotta hold on easy as I let you go
Gonna tell you how much I love you
Though you think you already know
I remember I thought you looked like an angel wrapped in pink so soft and warm
You've had me wrapped around your finger since the day you were born

You beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl

When you were in trouble that crooked little smile could melt my heart of stone
Now look at you, I've turned around and you've almost grown
Sometimes you're asleep I whisper "I Love You" in the moonlight at your door
As I walk away, I hear you say, "Daddy Love You More"

Your beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl

Someday, some boy will come and ask me for your hand
But I won't say "yes" to him unless I know, he's the half
That makes you whole, he has a poet's soul, and the heart of a man's man
I know he'll say that he's in love
But between you and me
He won't be good enough

Your beautiful baby from the outside in
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again
Go on, take on this whole world
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl
