We might get an earful from the kids about how they didn’t get to go along and help choose this year’s tree. Or about how they didn’t have a chance of getting the free candy cane and coloring book. I am hoping the excitement of seeing it already at the house will make up for purposefully excluding them. If not, oh well. It’ll be worth it. It’s not often I get a the ride in the old truck, a pretty tree, a tasty lunch and an hour alone in the middle of a Thursday with my man.
I have a secret stash of candy canes, just in case.
Oh well, they’ll get over it I’m sure. It was worth it, wasn’t it?
that is the sweetest truck i have ever seen! what a nice date too!
Love the old truck.
I always enjoy lunch with my mister. Something so nice and different, isn’t it? If only every day could be that way (but then we probably wouldn’t appreciate it as much!). 🙂
And that truck totally rocks!
ok. That truck is completely perfect! Love it!
Oh, Erin. Your afternoon sounds like heaven. I hope you enjoyed every minute of it.
How fun. Hope you got a good one. Tonights supposed to be decorating night and right now I’m stalling on my task of putting up the lights with a helpful little diversion called Bloglines.
Cool truck!
You crazy kids, sneakin’ around, and breaking the rules 🙂 I love it. I hope you sat in the middle seat and held hands between gear changes. Good stuff.
What a fun lunch date! I’d be riding in that truck any chance I got.
Is that Fatty’s truck?! Brian would be sooooo jealous.
That is one gorgeous truck! 🙂 Love the vintage feel it invokes. Ahhh…to be a wife during the time when that truck was brank spankin’ new. 🙂 Hope you enjoyed your day.
Time alone with you man is a great thing!! Love your truck too. 🙂

i am sure you didn’t even need to pull out the candy canes!
that truck is so cool. it sounds like a very fun date!

Sounds like such a lovely day; great company, great food, great car.

That truck is so cool… sounds like a wonderful afternoon!
I’m going to lunch with my mister today! I love lunch dates, especially when thye are at Chick-Fil-A……
Just tell them Santa brought the tree! And let them hem and haw about that! : )
That truck ROCKS! And Thursday lunch dates aren’t bad either . . .
I just love the picture of him pointing to the tree!!
And decorating the tree with a little cocoa and candycanes will surely make up for any hard feelings!
I WANT that truck!!!
When I first read this post I thought it said lunch with the “minister” *lol* What a great vehicle to go on a date in.
That picture…with the tie, and jacket, pointing at tree….love it. It all looks so 1950…so cute.
I LOVE this post!!! The truck, the sentiment, the reference to your kids, all so sweet…
(Is that truck yours? It’s beautiful…)
I think if my husband could, he’d leap into the monitor and ride away with that robin egg truck of yours. nice nice nice.
how fun!
love that truck.
lovely. (the truck too!)
I just LOVE that truck. I’m looking for one for my husband to restore for me. That color is perfect!
