Jeremy and I talked about what we wanted to do with Madi to celebrate the time she has had with us and give her a special night that was all about her. We had a gift card to Maggiano's still (given to us last Christmas and still not used yet!). She had always wanted to go there so I asked Jeremy if he thought it'd be fun to take her out to dinner and then do some shopping at Willow Bend. He was all for it.
So tonight she got dressed up and we went out to the restaurant. She loved it!!! We ordered calamari fritte for our appetizer. Madi got to choose the appetizer and one of the main courses. Then we all agreed on the other one. Then had chicken tortelloni and chicken saltimbocca. She really loved the latter and loved the calamari was well. Wasn't real big on the tortelloni. The atmosphere was darker and dimly lit and very relaxing.
Then we headed to Willow Bend and took her to Justice. They had a special sale going on - 40% off plus an additional 20% off the entire store. The girls both have a pj/movie/popcorn party in their classes on Thursday. So we let her pick a new pair of pjs - any one that she wanted - as well as some razzles candy and a mustache mood ring. The mustache is a very popular item in jewelry and items for girls now. Quite odd, but they all think they are hilarious. She was super excited!!
We walked around the mall and spent time in the Apple store checking out the new mini iPad. Totally cool. We also got the most amazing tea samples at Teavana. I'm not much of a fan of anything but water, but LOVE their Samurai Chai tea. Madi loved their wild blossom tea. Jeremy liked all of them.
Restoration Hardware was close by so we spent time sitting in every possible chair, couch and beanbag in the store. LOVED it!!! Madi was thoroughly enjoying herself. Then we went to Z-Gallerie where we saw the most amazing couch that had six sections and formed a pit in the middle. Madi sat in it and had so much fun.
As my mom put it, she was glowing because she had so much fun. She asked if we could do it again tomorrow which unfortunately, we can't. But it was a blast.
