Monday :)

She is terribly cute, isn't she?

She joined her Daddy and I today for a date day.  Before stopping at our favorite restaurant, we checked out this fun candy store, where she bought us some fun treats.  

Afterwards, we went here.

I absolutely love this restaurant.  When Jer and I were in college, he drove me down to Chicago for our first dating anniversary and we went to a Cheesecake factory.  It was my first time and I absolutely fell in love with it.  

Almost 9 years later, it's pretty fun to be able to go on another date there, with the love of my life and this amazing little girl.

Today's meal was extra special because it was completely covered by gift cards given to us by Jer's parents and my sister.  Thanks guys!

 

Jer got Chicken Teriyaki, and I got a Pear and Blue Cheese Pizzette.  And it was pretty delicious.

Ellee got one of the best kids meals that I have ever seen.  Fresh fruit and chicken tenders, and they were both delicious.  

Afterwards we did a little shopping in the mall.  Ellee made herself comfortable while Mom got a great deal on a very cozy sweatshirt from this store.

Before we left, we stopped by Starbucks to enjoy free drinks, thanks to a Disney Movie Rewards gift card that came in the mail this week.  

All in all, it was a perfect way to kick off the week.
