We love holidays around here. For date night the other night, I took an idea from the Dating Divas blog and planned the ultimate holiday date night. The idea was to celebrate as many holidays as we could in one night. It was so much fun! I pulled out all kinds of holiday decorations for the night.
We started off by eating Thanksgiving dinner (by the way, turkey breast cooked in the crock pot is delicious!) while watching the Winnie the Pooh Christmas special on Netflix. After that, I put Sarah to bed while Kelson hunted his Easter basket. In the basket were eggs numbered 1-10. He got to open the eggs in order throughout the evening to tell him what our next activity was. The first one said, "Happy St. Patrick's Day! The last one to get a green shirt on gets pinched!". It was a mad race to our closet. Kelson cheated and tackled me so he could win. I pinched him anyway.
Next was Halloween. We put on our costumes (princess and the green lantern), took silly pictures, and read an Edgar Alan Poe story.
After Halloween was Valentine's Day. We headed into the craft room to design cards for each other, elementary school style. We both wrote some pretty awesome poetry.
Of course, we had to celebrate Christmas. We turned down the AC so we could enjoy snuggling and drinking hot chocolate in front of our paper fireplace while reading a Christmas story.
Happy Birthday, Kelson! We won't be together for Kelson's birthday, so this was a perfect opportunity to make his traditional strawberry birthday pie.
Finally, we celebrated the New Year with some bubbly.
We may have to have a 2nd episode of this date to catch some more holidays. So much fun!
