So, take a look at what I made… Each page has a sealed envelope that has a fun “date” for us. It includes things like… January: Movie Night (with candy and popcorn) February: Wine & Cheese Tasting March: Game Night April: “One of the Guys” Night (video games, pizza & wings) May: Make a Yummy Dessert Together June: Picnic in the backyard July: VIP Lounge August: Ice Cream Sundaes in the Kiddie Pool September: Jammies, Snacks and Shows in bed October: Pumpkin Carving/Painting while sipping on Pumpkin Spice Lattes November: Go through my Project Life and talk about the blessings of our year December: Drink Peppermint Mochas while we make Peanut Butter Balls and listen to our favorite Christmas music.
