Date Night ...

It was a special Saturday night for our family. It was date night... but this time it was not Kevin and Kim....Tessa had a Daddy Date and Ella had a Mommy date. Tessa was SO excited for her big evening. It was no surprise when her first question was "what am I going to wear?" Then, she was curious where she was going to go with Daddy..."Can I have some hints? Will we be outside or inside? Do we need a ticket where we are going?" The excitement was building all day!
Ella and I gave them hugs and kisses and they were on their way to the hockey game. Ella was NOT happy when they left from Grandma's house. It took her a while to be convinced that she was going to have fun with special Mommy time. Although she kept asking for Tessa we had fun shopping for her "big girl room bedding". After we shopped, I enjoyed a coffee and she had her very own "special cup" of warm milk from the Starbucks, she thought she was big time!
Tessa and Daddy came home after curfew... it was a late night. She couldn't wait to come and tell me all about the hockey game and show me her goodies....of course they went to the gift shop! I would have loved to see just the two of them sharing the evening....special times. Tessa was sure to get Ella a matching shirt! Her recap of the evening included ice cream, hockey stories, and a realization that hockey is fun to watch but she wants to learn to play tennis (I am relieved of that one!)
It was a special date night for all and look forward to having one again! But coming home to be together is the best conclusion to the day! We love our girls! Kevin is such an amazing hubby and Daddy to his girls!
