Allison officially turned 5 today (9:10 on 10/9 for those wondering...) and I was the lucky dad that got to take her out for the afternoon. As the photo above explains, we started by seeing Madagascar at the dollar theatre. She was a bit antsy and even asked when it was going to be over (but she knew we were going shopping after the movie...).Next, we went to Target and picked out some Strawberry Shortcake lip stuff and the brand new Cinderella Special Edition DVD.
And finally, we stopped by Ritters Frozen Custard to satisfy that craving for something sweet.
It was the first time I can recall us doing actual father-daughter bonding. Hopefully we can do it more often so when she turns 17 she will still want to hang out with me...
Later that day I heard Tammy talking to Allison about her delivery, how small she was and how it seemed like just yesterday that we were bringing her home from the hospital. It is definitely strange to think that we've had kids for 5 years! And while it seems like just yesterday, it also seems like we've lived this way for years. Surprisingly it's one of the best feelings this life can offer...
