Chris is on the road each and every week, usually Monday through Thursday or Friday. It will continue to be that way until we can sell our house and get moved. With him being gone as much as he is, the time we do have with him is very limited, as you can imagine. We both really miss him when he's away.Well, last week, I mentioned to Chris that he should get into a habit of taking Abby on a "date", at least, once a month to give them time to reconnect with each other. Girls need their moms, but they need their daddy's, too! He thought it was a great idea! He took her out back in the fall and it was a huge hit. They went to Dave and Buster's and played all sorts of games, then grabbed dessert before they came on home. Would you believe that Abby still talks about how much fun she had?
So, I noticed in the paper that 119 Chick Fil-A restaurants in the metro Atlanta area are hosting "Date Night" for fathers and daughters on Feb. 5th, from 4:30-7:30 PM; reservations are required. I hopped online and made a reservation for Chris and Abby to attend. Sounds like it's going to be a night to remember! Each restaurant will celebrate in their own way, including a red carpet arrival, dancing (Chris will LOVE that!), live music, photography, and even limo service. I kind of want to go myself! Plus, each father-daughter duo will receive a tray liner with questions and conversation topics to get everything moving along in a fun manner.
Hmm...wonder if I can talk them into bringing me some waffle fries and sweet iced tea? :)
P.S. Be sure to come back for a visit next Wednesday, for sure...I'm having a GIVEAWAY, which is way overdue!

Hi April
What a wonderful idea. I've never heard of this over here but I love it. They are going to have a great time. I've heard so many good things about Chick-Fil-a, hope I can go to one someday.

April, this is a wonderful idea, and you are the best mom! I loved spending time with my father, so I know how much this mean to Abby. Great idea, and here's saluting Chick-Fil-A, too!

Now how cool is that??!! I just love that Chick-Fil A!! :)
What a neat thing for Chck-fil-A to do! I wonder if I could go with my Daddy. Surely there's no age limit on the daughter! lol
Let us know how it goes!
Thanks for your comment on Mamarazzi's page today! =)
I love the idea of date night with Father and Daughter. That is so sweet. I wish they had had somethinhg like that when my daughter was young....she might have a relationship with her dad today. It makes me sad for her...because I had a great relationship with my dad until the day he died.
Hi April! I'm following you now (I don't want to miss out on that giveaway). Thanks for stopping by my blog (Life The Green Way).
That is such a cool date night!! I can't wait until they go and you blog about it!!! I love chick-fil-A
Oh my gosh! That is such a great idea. I LOVE it! I don't think ours in Pennsylvania are doing that. I was going to google it and find out and then I remembered...we don't have a daughter for Gary to take out : )
That sounds so neat. I wonder if any other areas are doing that. Going to need to check into it here in Charlotte.
Great idea. Wonder if their doing it in South GA also. Will have to look into it.
I know you guys LOVE that place, so this is beyond perfect!! I think father-daughter outings are so important!
Sweet tea - yep, that's one thing I DO miss about Georgia, lol!
Giveaway? I'm in!! :-D
That is such a lovely idea! Our girl absolutely adores my husband (he's called Chris, too!) and she loves her mini-dates with daddy --even though they're only trips to get groceries or run errands at this point.
Thank you so much for your sweet words over at Becky's on my interview. =)
Father-Daughter bonding time is SO important! My husband spends one on one time with Bella once a week or more now that I am working part time.
Mini dates are beneficial to both parties--good on you and your hubby for making them happen...I wasn't so lucky growing up, my mom was too jealous for that :(
That sounds like so much fun. She will talk about that night forever too.
That sounds like so much FUN! I know they will enjoy that time together!
