Dinner with Elmo!

Although we don't get over to Druid Hills Golf Club as much as we would like for the golf, we do manage to make time to get over there for DINNER WITH ELMO! How could I resist taking Allie to have dinner with Elmo? After all, any of you that have spent more than 2 minutes with Allie know that she is nuts about that little red monster, as much of her day is spent exclaiming "Elmo! Elmo! Elmo!"

Unfortunately, David was out of town and wouldn't be able to join us, but I loaded up the kids and we met Grandma and PawPaw at Druid Hills for dinner on Wednesday night. When we first saw Elmo (and yes, I do realize that this is the ugliest Elmo costume that exists on this earth!), Allie was a little hesitant, but after me holding her next to him for just a moment, she fell in love! We had the hardest time dragging her away from him....she had truly met her best friend in the flesh! After many ups and downs during the evening....lots of hugs and kisses, and then screaming when we pulled her away to give the other kids a chance to see him.....Allie gave Elmo one last hug and kiss and told him "bye bye" and we managed to leave peacefully.

So, now I have the perfect plan for her 2nd birthday party.....I'll rent the costume, who's willing to put it on????
