daddy daughter dates

At the beginning of the year Aaron and I sat down and listed all the things we wanted to do for our family. Things we needed to work on, things to change, things we wanted to start.

One of those things is having a monthly "daddy daughter date" with each of the girls. Abby and Emma are such daddy's girls and they dont have as many opportunities as they would like just with Aaron.



Emma was first and Aaron came and picked her up after work and they went to eat and then to see Princess and the Frog (emma LOVES LOVES LOVES that movie) she was even treated to popcorn and she was in heaven. Today is Abby's day and she has been asking every day since we told them if it was the 14th yet. So Aaron took her to school and will pick her up and then do something fun just the two of them. Its only the first month, but so far we LOVE it (all of us). So I highly suggest (if you havent already) start something like this. The girls look forward to their daddy time and it also gives me a chance to get Abby alone as well when emma is with Aaron (something we really needed as well). Next month I will have to have Aaron take the camera on their dates!!

So, so sweet! What a wonderful idea! Ben and I try to take the boys out individually when we can, and it's great to see how they react to having the attention all to themselves. You guys are awesome!

So fun! the only thing with boys is... it seems like i'm ALWAYS on a date with those two little guys! the boys both LOVE going to the store with Jonathan though ... so maybe they can plan an outing!

That is such a great idea, I am sure the girls will love the memories they have from this when they get older.
