My Date with Britt

Yesterday I had the privilege of taking this lovely lady to Grand Rapids for an early birthday present. Sweet 16 is definetely a year to remember, so I wanted to make it special! I told her we were going to do whatever she wanted to do. So I picked her up from school and we made our way to DQ in Nashwauk. Then we made the rest of the trip to Grand Rapids and headed straight for the mall. We were in luck! We were hoping that Santa would be there for us to take a picture with, and right when we got there we read the sign saying "Kids- Santa's here!" But we pretended it said "Teens- Santa's here!" hahaha. Never too old for Santa! So we giggleishly made our way to where santa was to get our picture taken! (Ask us if you want to see if- we have it on a keychain!) Anyway, that was a lot of FUUNNN, and we were informed that we weren't the only "older kids" to get our pictures taken- even an 82 year old woman asked Santa to give her a kiss on the cheek! haha. So we decided that was going to be our tradition. Getting our picture taken w/Santa every Christmas (Thanks Mrs. Willy for the idea!). After that we headed over to Burger King (Britt's fav. fast food place!) for some dinner and icees! We had about an hour or a little more to spare before our movie began, so we headed over to Target. We didn't buy much there. We then headed right over to the theater to see Chronicles of Narnia!!!! Okay...Thanks so much Britt for choosing to go there!! I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!!!!! I definetely want to read the books now, but that is off the point. We got our tickets, bought more icees (i think we are addicted!) and enjoyed the movie! That concluded our time spent in GR. After that we called Ruth to see if she was up to anything, and she invited us to stop by her house and say hello. We spent a good 15 minutes or more chatting w/her, but we all decided that we were getting tired so we hit the road back to Hib-town. I then dropped BWilly off and that concluded our date.
There were many laughs (hopefully it helped burn off all of our calories) and it was a GREAT time! Thanks so much Britt for taking the time from your busy schedule and hanging out with me!!! Hope you have a fantastic Sweet 16!!!!!!!!!!!!! (yes, i will put something on my blog when it is her actual b-day). I love you girl!!
I wish I would have taken some pictures to put on here :( Oh well, make sure to ask to see our picture w/ Santa =)
