Tradition Continued...


When the girls were little they each had special Daddy Daughter Date Nights. They looked forward to these special nights with their dad like crazy. It hardly mattered what any of them did...the most important thing was just being one on one with their dad. Jennie was pretty excited to get to go to a Rebel game with her dad way back in the day!

I am so happy to see the tradition continued. Every week Jennie or Chad take one of their cute kiddos for a date. Tonight it was Jackson's turn. They went to Color Me Mine and painted a cool race car (Jackson)and Best Kid Ever plate (Jennie). And then it was off to Cold Stone where Jackson picked Cotton Candy ice cream. They had a great night and Jackson loved being out with his mom on his first big date.
He really didn't like learning that when he gets older he's the one who will pay for dates! But he thought opening the door for his mom, like a real gentleman, was pretty cool.





P.S. Jennie is an amazing photographer.(I can brag because I am her mom and that's what mom's do!) I love this picture Jennie took of the kids after a December snow storm. Aren't my grandkids adorable?!

If you ever need a photographer for a family event or of your kids etc., email Jennie...She is GREAT!

That's awesome!!! I loved Daddy daughter dates. Mom, you didn't ever get to have a date with any sons... sorry bout that. But that's way cool Jennie does. My favorite Daddy Daughter date was going to Scandia one time when I brought a friend. I swung really hard at the ball and wacked my friend square in the forehead with my mini golf club. Dad gave me lessons on how to politely golf after that, and a similar experience with bowling where he also taught me 'bowlers courtesy.'
