Dancing with children

My FI and I have two girls, 5 and 2. After the father daughter and mother son dances I would like to surprise my FI with a dance for our girls and us. I need song ideas. All the songs I think of lean more for father and daughter and not parents and kids. Any help us greatly appreciated.

  • Together, Wherever We Go from "Gypsy!"

  • "My Girl" by Temptations is sweet for 2 daughters. 
  • Whatever song you decide on, don't "surprise" your groom with this.  Get his consent and input, especially about the song.  Otherwise he will feel put on the spot and perhaps controlled.  That could make him feel resentful about doing this.
  • Am I correct? Are we talking four spotlight dances? Bride and groom, father/daughter, mother/son, and then bride and groom with daughters? 
    If so, it's a lot. I'd just dance with the girls to a special song request, but wouldn't make it a spotlight everybody watching moment.
