A Christmas Carol

It's been very busy around here lately, so I was glad to hear that Q had something special planned for us to do this week. Early Tuesday afternoon we headed to the Denver Center for the Performing Arts to see a classic theatrical show....

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens was fantastic! We loved every minute of it. The music was awesome, the costumes were outstanding (it seemed like the costume designer likes ruffles because many of the ladies had them on their dresses), and the actors were great. The boy who played "Tiny Tim" was the cutest kid you've ever seen. He's on the front cover of the playbill; take a look...

The show was enjoyable and a great way to relax. Because we couldn't take a picture inside the theater, Q snapped this one of us in the lobby...

We took a long walk down 16th street mall. When I saw Bath and Body Works, we just needed to go in.;) We bought their Twisted Peppermint hand soap and a couple of small lotions. Their big sale is right after Christmas, so I may go back and stock up on a couple of things. I love the smell of the peppermint lotion because it is refreshing. That might be at the top of my list.

For dinner, we went to The Cheesecake Factory. It's our favorite spot for special occasions. We had our favorite appetizer--sweet corn tamale cakes (thanks to my brother-in-law, Jesse, for getting us hooked!;). I had a plate of farfalle pasta with creamy garlic sauce. It also had bits of bacon and peas--so delicious!

Q had this chopped steak with green beans and mashed potatoes. We couldn't finish everything on our plates, so we bought a slice of tuxedo cheesecake to take home with us. When we got home, we put in a movie and enjoyed our dessert.

Thanks, Q, for a wonderful date! I had a great time with you. I love you!:)
