Night out on the town!

For my niece Allison's birthday, I decided to take her out for a night on the town! We had such an absolutely fantastic time. After giving Alli several choices on where to eat for dinner she decided on The Olive Garden. She had so much fun. I think she thought it was really cool to be able to order from a menu and get whatever she wanted. Initially she was not going to get a drink, but I talked her into the frozen raspberry lemonade which was absolutely delicious (she let me take a sip). Yum! She ended up ordering Chicken Fettucine Alfredo and I ordered Chicken Scampi. She loved the salad that they initially brought and absolutely loved the warm breadsticks. I told her we could get more and she was pretty excited about that.
We had a great time talking about boys (Noah) and about school and friends. It was so much fun to chat and the food was delicious!

After our delicious dinner, we headed to Barnes and Noble where I let Alli browse through the young readers section. She was able to pick out a great book which I got for her. After that, we headed out and got some delicious dessert. Then she got her other gift from me. A fun new springy dress. I couldn't resist. It was so cute and fun. I think she really had the time of her life tonight, I know I did.
