Dan recently spent ten weeks competing with 5 other people to be "Man of the Year" for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. In the end - he won! Obviously this organization is near and dear to our hearts and Dan worked very hard to do all he could for this fundraiser. Even so, we were truly amazed at the generosity of everyone around us. In all, over 220 people contributed to Dan's campaign - I didn't think we even knew that many people!
What has made all of this even more special is that Emma is the Girl of the Year for 2012 for LLS. This means she has been able to come with us to events and she has been very involved in this whole process. Dan and I have really enjoyed spending some extra time with just Emma - she is growing into a little lady and it's fun to have real conversations with her about all sorts of things.
There was a Grand Final Gala a few weeks ago where the winners were annonced (there was also a Woman of the Year) We invited a few friends and had a really fun night. Emma also got to bring a friend and to watch them dancing all by themselves on the dance floor to Justin Bieber (who they personally went up and requested from the DJ) was priceless! After dinner the girls were joined by more dancers and then they danced the night away :)
