Friday night was a special one for Abigail and Brian, the
Daddy Daughter Dance at church. I snapped this picture before they headed out the door for dinner and some dancing. Abigail finally got the dress that she has always wanted. Every year she asks me for a princess dress, but I have a very hard time justifying the cost. Well, this year I hit the sales rack and got a very good deal on a princess dress. She was so excited to show Brian and kept it a secret for over three weeks. Their first stop
The Cheesecake Factory, Abigail's favorite place to eat. After a wonderful meal followed by dessert, of course, they headed off to the dance. This is becoming a favorite night for Abigail this is her third time going to a Daddy Daughter Dance. She did look like a princess with a very handsome date.

So what did my date have in store for me? Well first he told me that he wanted a sitter, what's this I am being ditched for another girl? Then after some bribing I finally talked him into going out with me. We headed to Kauhnaville only to find that the restaurant had closed but the
arcade was still open. Ethan hit it big on the Deal or No Deal game leaving that virtual world with 100 tickets, he made a great deal his case had only 1 ticket. After an hour or so of arcade time we decided that it was time to get something to eat. No Cheesecake Factory for us, we were at the mall so we hit the
foodcourt. It isn't very often that Ethan gets alone time with mom so we made the most of our night and headed down to the
Toy Store so that he could show me all of the toys that he had to have for his birthday. On our way out of the mall we had to stop at
ProImage to stare at all the football and college paraphanalia. Oh my I just realized that this was a lot like my first date with Brian! Fun, food, and sports...the cylce never ends.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
