6. Is counting the ward Christmas party too much of a stretch? It definitely was a fun activity that we did together, soo...yeah, I'm counting it.
7. The best way to celebrate the end of finals is with a lazy at-home date. We shared an eggnog milkshake (with two straws for maximum romance) and played Scrabble. And we found that two people trying to drink from the same milkshake is surprisingly difficult (there was a lot of forehead-bumping involved). How do people in movies manage to make the two-straws thing so cute and romantic??
Michael wanted to take a picture of the turn when the average point value of his letters was less than 1 (not surprisingly with a few turns like that for him, I was the winner).
8. Christmas pancakes in bed. FYI, red and green sprinkles are all it takes to Christmas-ify ANYTHING. I made some with chocolate chips and some with cranberries, and the cranberry ones were pretty awesome and holiday-y.
9. Wrapping presents together. Don't worry, we had wrapped the ones to each other already.
10. On the drive down to Arkansas to see Michael's family, we stayed at a bed-and-breakfast on a farm in Kentucky to celebrate our anniversary. I will probably put up a picture post for it later, but we got to see a bunch of animals, milk goats, play with the farm dogs, eat a delicious country home dinner, and relax in our little suite with a view of the countryside. It was a pretty awesome anniversary present to ourselves.
11. Long walk and frozen custard in Michael's hometown. Since we had already celebrated our anniversary a few days early on the farm, Michael asked what we should do on the actual date of our anniversary. I said I just wanted to go on a long walk holding hands and get a special treat. It fit the bill nicely!
12. Out to lunch with a bunch of Michael's family at a local restaurant. Just barely got our 12 dates in in time for Christmas!
