The Big Date

Layla Faye Handsaker went on her first date......with Daddy. For a girl who had no idea what a date was, she is now very impressed and would like to go on more. Dave took her to an evening tumbling class, out to dinner for french fries and cheeseburgers and gave her a very special present.......a Dora t-shirt. Although she does many things with her daddy, this was the first purposed date. When she came home she was grinning ear to ear, jumped up on the couch with me and filled me in on all the details of what a date was. I video taped this conversation and, hopefully, someday, I will learn how to post that on the blog. The morning after the date she came upstairs, crawled into bed with me and the first thing out of her mouth was, "I want to go on a date with my daddy." Priceless.

Oh, what a fun story. I remember very fondly going on dates with my Dad as a little girl. Those are easily some of my most fond memories from growing up. Hopefully they will be just as fond for Dave. :)
