We are not a family that goes out to dinner very often - Probably only 2x/month. That doesn't mean we don't like to, in fact, we love it (well at least me and the girls love it!) but sometimes it just seems like a waste of $ when we don't know how it will go. Will Colin fuss and yell, will the service be slow, will the girls be patient. Most times, we do go out, the girls are great, but Colin has been very unpredictable and made the last couple times out to dinner (along with poor service) not worth the $ at all.
Last night... we took a chance and went to the Olive Garden (along with free kid meal tickets) and it was such a success!! The girls were great, Colin was good, service was decent and the food was yummy. I actually felt like we were able to talk to one another and enjoy each other and the food and not just be sitting on the edge of our seats hoping it will go ok. When we eat at home, the meal seems to go by in a blur... I kind of liked that we had to sit at the same table for a while waiting for our food. I don't know if it was because Santa might have been watching, but all Giumarra children did so well!
Let's hope it was the first of many nice family meals out on the town!
