Father Daughter Date Night!

This Valentine's Day was pretty special.... We got to share it with many people we love! Isn't that what the day is all about? Friday night Aaron and I got to go out and celebrate. We actually got to go to a movie....I can't remember that last movie we went to the theater to watch together. Then on Saturday my parents and brothers came up. We made dinner at home and just hung out and played games. Then on Sunday.....

Father Daughter Date Night!
Our church put on a "Dance Party" for Valentine's Day. They brought in a Christian DJ couple from Florida who does events just like this. They were so good at involving everyone and not making you feel dumb if you didn't know how to dance! They choreographed dances, made you get a real workout and made it so much for for all generations!

Mackenzie was so excited...we had been talking about it and she kept wanting to know when the "dance party" was and her and her friend Kayley at gymnastics the wed. before kept yelling "Father Daughter Date Night!" It was so cute to see her excited about it! I asked my dad to come up and go with me while Aaron separately took Mackenzie....we debated over taking Kate and decided that she really has no clue and it would be a lot more fun for everyone involved if she stayed back with Grandma!

My dad got me a corsage.....the traditional picture of a date pinning on the flower!

Mackenzie all dolled up and ready to go!

Daddy putting her corsage on!

Mackenzie proudly showing it off!

My dad and I went out to eat before hand at The Cafe` a nice restaurant in town while Aaron and Mackenzie went to her favorite place Pizza Ranch!

Part of the package was we all got our picture taken when we got there! The whole evening was coordinated so well.... Snacks and all!

Aaron and Mackenzie had a blast! He wanted us to stay away from them to not distract her!

They had different times where the dads would be in the middle while the daughters stood in a circle around them and clapped while they did their thing and vice versa! Here's the dads rockin out to their air guitars!

Several of Mackenzie's friends were there and they literally were dancing and running around all night. Mackenzie actually had some rhythm in her dance moves....don't know where she got them, but they were pretty good!

The last dance Mackenzie and Papa finally got a dance!

Thanks Dad for the honor of a date with you!
Aaron thanks for making such a special night with our daughter that I hope she doesn't forget!
