We both love having our anniversary in the month of December. It's nice to stop to reflect on our wedding day during the craziness of the holiday season. However, there is one slight, and I mean slight, negative to having an anniversary in December. Can you guess what it is? If you order a gift for your honey make sure you order it with more than enough time for it to travel to big D. It's the busy holiday season with lots of packages being shuffled around daily and things are unpredictable to arrive on-time. We were both in the same boat on this issue this year. The gift I ordered for him I had my fingers-crossed since last Thursday, hoping it would arrive in time. He was also awaiting the arrival of my gift he had ordered. At 5:05 pm a knock was heard at our door. My gift for Brad had arrived.....whew!!!!!! Talk about in the nick of time! I quickly flung into turbo drive as I found a box for it and wrapped it before Brad got home. I must say I was in awe of what I got him too. LOL! I think it's soooo cooooool! I can hardly wait for him to open it, he's going to love it. I get so excited to present him gifts. And this gift is definitely one I can barely contain my own excitement over. Notice my language....notice I said, "I can hardly wait for him to open it." Since Brad's gift for me hasn't yet arrived we have decided to hold off on exchanging gifts until it comes. No biggie, we have something additional to look forward to as the week progresses. :)
For our anniversary dinner, no big surprise, we once again decided to go to Uncle Julio's, where Brad took me for our first date. It's our traditional spot for celebrating anniversaries. It used to be the go-to spot to celebrate our first date now it's the go-to spot to celebrate our wedding anniversary. You know me, I LOVE traditions!!! After dinner we came home to pop some bubbly, check in with the MNF game, and have some dessert bars. As a surprise treat for Brad, I made gingerbread bars. He loves gingerbread at Christmastime or anytime! I made the gingerbread in bar form rather than individual cookies then I slathered them with ooey-gooey white frosting. YUM! Oh this is kind of funny, when we popped the champagne little Simmie immediately arrived in the kitchen. Simon has a weakness for champagne. A few years ago he seemed rather intrigued by the bubbly, we gave him a small sip. From that point on he has celebrated New Year's with a sip of champagne. We quickly reminded him that he has 2 more weeks to wait for his bubbly moment. No champagne was enjoyed by Simon, just his parents!
Side message to my husband:
Thanks for a great anniversary evening my sweetness! I love the flowers and I can hardly wait to exchange gifts. And once again as I already told you, thanks for marrying me! You are the man of my dreams! Far exceeding my expectations! Oh and thanks for marrying me in "2012". I must admit I really like the way our wedding date reads....12-15-12! Love the 15 being bookended by 12. :)
