Chris decided that we needed to have a date night last night. So we mulled over our options here in this less than opportunistic place! We knew that we would like privacy for talking and spending time together but figured we wouldn't get that at most of the little eating places.
So I said we should just meet on our roof at sunset and the whole evening unfolded. Yes, Chris went and got us some dinner for a very special treat and the girls went to work decorating for us.
We were not allowed to see until they were all done. Of course Hannah headed up the decoration committee and put her eager little assistant, Bella, to work doing her bidding. I'm not sure how many trips they made up and down from the roof but in the end it was very sweet and special.
The girls had decorated a small table with nice linens (the best we have), a vase full of red hibiscus and a rose, crystal pitcher of ice water, and another of juice. They even provided beautiful background music by taking a cd player upstairs. They did try to put candles but the wind was too much.
I enjoyed grilled eggplant with mashed potatoes and steamed veggies and Chris, well he enjoyed a veggie burger with a pile of fries!!
We had a nice time visiting and enjoying our supper together! Finally, we ended up getting too cold and had to come in, I believe it cooled down to the low 70's.
Such a nice evening and I enjoyed my time with Chris just as much as I enjoyed watching the girls work to surprise us!! Mat helped out too but I don't think he was into the decoration part other than accompanying the girls out to pick flowers and help carry chairs upstairs.
The girls want to know when they can do this again for us??
Who knows this might become a regular weekly thing just not the eating out part.
