Spending Quality Time with the Grinch...and Lauren!

Lauren called a few weeks ago and asked if I could go to Oklahoma City on Monday the 30th. She had a surprise for me.

I had no idea what we were going to do, but figured it was a show of some kind.

I started to be nosey - checking out Christmas events in the Metro, but didn't want to spoil the surprise. I told my husband that, and he said I probably wouldn't be able to find it anyway. Hmmmm....I wondered what it could be!

Lauren asked me to meet her st Bricktown. We ate at Spaghetti Warehouse (which, by the way, has a gluten free Spaghetti Alfredo!). 

We ate then drove around looking at Christmas lights downtown and around Automobile Alley.

As we drove past a painting studio, I commented about it, not knowing that was the surprise!

We parked and walked across the street - me still not realizing what we were doing! 😂

What a fun new get we had pairing this Grinch themed canvas!! It's Lauren's favorite Christmas movie (top of all movies), so it was really fun getting to do this with her!

Just the fact she planned this special evening for the two of us meant a lot to me.

It's hard to spend a lot of one on one time together these days. We're both busy and in different places. 

It was very special, and I'll remember it always.

Being downtown in OKC is fun, but at Christmas time, it's even better! 

We just took pictures from the car since it was so cold, but it was beautiful!

Even this truck was decked out in holiday lights!

Thanks for the fun evening, Lauren! I love you!
