Our local Chick-fil-as host an annual Daddy-Daughter Date Night. Eric had been excited to take Evie since we learned about this when she was just 3 months old. Last year she was still too little, but this year was JUST RIGHT!
Saturday morning I started preparing Evie for her special night. I told her all about how she'd wear a special dress, put a bow in her hair and wear her ruffly socks. I also told her Daddy would get dressed up in his fancy suit and tie and the two of them would go out for a yummy dinner.
After her nap I started getting her dressed. She was giddy with excitement as she remembered about her special night out.
Eric came by her room and "picked her up" for their date, but I couldn't let them leave with out a few photos.
Off they went!
Eric said Chick-fil-a did a nice job by providing table service, little conversation starters more geared towards the older girls, and treat bags and flowers for all the girls.
He said there was a range of ages from Evie's age to fourteen-ish. And a variety of dress - polo shirts to suit jackets, and little girls in all sorts of dresses.
They had a great night. Evie came home excited to tell me all about her ice cream with sprinkles and her rose that she held the whole way home.
I am so glad these two are building a solid foundation to their Daddy-Daughter relationship. I can't wait for baby sister to join them in a few years. In the meantime, I hope Evie and Eric set their calendar for the occasional date night, with or without Chick-fil-a's special event.
So cute! I always loved daddy daughter events with my dad.
