Father Daughter Date Night

My date started on Tuesday. On Tuesday I took my cell phone into the far end of the house and called the home phone. I asked for Emma and ultimately asked her if she'd like to go on a date Friday night. She was very excited. I could hear her telling mommy all about it.

On Friday, I met Jen for lunch and bought some daisies for Emma. Over lunch Jen told me that Emma said she needed to bath before her date and that she would do it right after school and snack time. By the time I got home from work al of that was finished and she was practically all ready.

Our date actually started in the entryway of our house. I presented her the flowers and helped her on with her coat. I helped her into the car and headed off to Olive Garden. She loves Fettuccini Alfredo. She was very excited and kept telling me how happy she was. The folks at Olive Garden were nice and complemented her on her flowers. She didn't put them down all night. Funny enough she didn't eat much. She was to excited. After OG we headed off to Build a Bear. This was another surprise to her. She picked out monkey, who we named "Dates" (to remember the night). After that we went to the Church for dessert(s). Everything was great! Emma wanted to be sure we had our picture taken together. We decorated a frame together to keep the picture in. When we left for home we added Coleton to our car. (Jen and Eric stayed to finish clean-up.) Coleton assumed, since he was older, that he would sit shotgun. I pushed him toward the back and told him my date wasn't finished. I could tell Emma was quite happy about this. When we got home Cole kept telling her to get out and she said, "A lady waits for a gentleman to open the door."

It was a great night; we talked to the whole time.
