That's how many years of marriage Rob and I celebrated on Sunday. We're now going for the Baker's Dozen anniversary - maybe somebody will bake us something next year.
We actually celebrated with dinner at The Melting Pot last weekend since I was going to the big old Scrap-o-ganza this weekend. I was home by noon or so on Sunday though, and after a gazillion hugs and 'I missed you!'s' from the girls they had us take a seat so they could present us with our anniversary gifts.
The gifts were in a small green bag and we had to take turns pulling out items. I went first and pulled out a dollar; Rob pulled out two dollars. E1 then pulled out another dollar, handed it to me and announced, "Two dollars for each of you."
Next, I pulled out a piece of Trident gum and Rob pulled one out as well. Then I pulled out a small pot (empty lip gloss container?) that contained two pieces of Dentyne Ice gum...and an apple seed.
We ate the Trident, and agreed to put our dollars in our vacation bank - a big plastic jug in which we save coins. It was the Hawaii Vacation Bank, but now it's the Texas Vacation Bank.
The next morning E3 asked if the apple seed was still in the pot, and E1 informed her that Dad had already planted the seed - and the location it's planted is a surprise.
