Anniversary, Part 2

Jeremy was out of town for 5 days the week of our Anniversary.  We had decided to celebrate when he returned, but that was upsetting to my sweet girl, who knows how much we like to celebrate special events.  On the day of our Anniversary, she asked me if I was sad that I couldn't celebrate with Daddy.  I told her I wished that he was here, but that I was excited for a date night when he got back home.  Minutes later, she ran out of my room and told me not to come down stairs while she worked on a project.

About 20 minutes later  she said "Mom, look at your bed.  I think Daddy left you something for your special day."  Bless her sweet heart, she had made a homemade card with a picture of me and Jeremy with a  heart above us, and then signed his name in childlike writing.  She also wrapped up things from around our house for me to open.  Melt my heart!

The cover of her card. I love her spelling (Happy Anniversary, From Jeremy).

And the inside, complete with balloons, Daddy's spikey hair and Mommy's cute skirt. :)

And as if that wasn't enough, she told me later in the day that she wanted to take me out to anniversary dinner at Chuck E. Cheese.  Which, of course we did.  How did she guess where I was hoping to go?  :)  Now I guess Jeremy and I will have to go out to a fancy dinner, oh darn!  :) 

And, to cap off the perfect night, she brought all of her stuffed animals to my bed and slept with me, so I wouldn't be lonely.
