It’s a celebrate that comes around every year and one I look forward to. Each year we try to take the time to celebrate what keeps us together, our love for each other. This year I wanted to share some of the ideas we’ve done in the past and what we’re planning on doing this year to celebrate.
Re-enact your first date – this was fun for us as we meet up in downtown Salt Lake. I make a scavenger hunt out of the events that happened that day with little messages in a bottle.
Memory Book – I found this over at the Dating Divas and we had so much fun putting it together! It’s a cute way to document all of life’s crazy adventures in a scrapbook, journal time capsule. They have other adorable ideas you can purchase and put together as well for your anniversary. Or if money is tight, put together your own adventure book with pictures from the past and places you’d still like to go.
At Home Staycation – Last year things were tight on money and when we thought we were going to be able to go out of town we ended up having to stay home, but we still had a great time. We sent the kids away to grandma’s house and explored our own town. We found new homes to walk through and dream about then hit up a new restaurant. Afterwards we headed home with some treats and a Redbox movie. The next morning we went out for breakfast and took a hike close by. It was a great little staycation we both enjoyed.
Fondue Night – we have kids and when they were younger we sometimes had to celebrate at home due to schedules and budget. So we had our own little fondue night after we put the kids down for bed. First we got the chocolate melted and chopped up our dipping items. Then we enjoyed while chatting at the table.
Slide Show – I’m excited to put this together this year! We’re celebrate 11 years in March so we have tons of memories to look back on. I’ve put together years’ worth of pictures, videos and music on a slide show for us to watch after we get massages. It’s a fun way to make it a little more personalized while cuddled up on the bed.
