I Love This Guy

Mr bird took me to the theater and out to dinner last night.
We got all dolled up and had a fantastic time.
We saw Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol.
We went with our fabulous book group friends and some great family.

Here are a few highlights:

• Seeing dad very happy and in love
• Taking up 30+ chairs in the theater
  
• Seeing the little girls in their fanciest dresses
• Having a teenager come up to us and ask if we were in the play
• Feeling like a princess with my handsome prince (what can I say, I'm still a dreamer!)
  
• "God bless us everyone!"
• The 5 year old next to me climbing on her mommy's lap because the ghost of Marley was a little too real with the strobe lights and smoke machines
• Yes and No
• Mr Bird admitting that he loves to be the center of attention (we all knew that one!)
  
• 10 degrees outside and wearing heals on the icy pavement

• Trying not to spill food on the fancy dress
• Trying not to eat too much so I would not get bloated and have the bodice pinch me in half
• Going to Chuck-A-Rama in a ball gown
• Yes, I said Chuck-A-Rama
• Seeing one of the guys, Bret, in our group wandering around the huge buffet looking at all the scrumptious food with only pickled beets and sweet pickles on his plate
• Eating too many desserts
• My beautiful friend Lara who is 6'1" wearing 2 inch heals and explaining that sometimes she wears 3 inch heals if she really wants to make sure she's the tallest person there
  
• Going home with my date and climbing into bed with him instead of leaving him at the front porch
