Our Anniversary

Dow and I recently celebrated our ninth wedding anniversary. We had a great day! Poor Dow was in Charleston all day in meetings, so he sent a friend and I to Truffles for lunch, and then we had a wonderful "date" that evening. We went to the Inn at Palmetto Bluff, and really enjoyed ourselves!

Little did we know, the girls were working on an anniversary surprise. We came into the kitchen, and this is what we found:

• two polka-dot cups with a two-liter of Diet Dr. Pepper (our favorite drink)
• two HUGE swirly straws
• two Hershey Kisses with Almonds (my very favorite candy)
• a "Happy Anavrshry" card (actually pretty good phonetic spelling, we thought!)
• a colored picture of Ariel and Eric getting married stuck to the refrigerator with "wacky string" (courtesy of Emma...she couldn't find tape!)

We were so thrilled and excited that the girls went to so much trouble to make a surprise on all on their own. They added things that they new that we loved, and things that they liked and that made it special for them (i.e. polka-dot cups and swirly straws!) Every day it's a blessing to have such sweet girls, but sometimes they just take my breath away!
