Thoughtful Child Creates Memorable Anniversary For Parents


--by uballay, posted Sep 28, 2018
My 8 year old son took it upon himself to plan a 10th anniversary celebration for my husband and I this weekend. He planned the whole day, starting with what the fanciest breakfast that he wanted me to prepare for my husband as a surprise. Then on to a romantic picnic on the beach,followed by a  family game time to celebrate the family that resulted from our marriage in the first place.

 He thoughtfully included  a 'card-making' station he had set up with markers and construction paper to help each of his parents to privately create loving anniversary cards for each other, and also recreated the special moments from our wedding day, with music he had selected and played and foods and beverages.

He had also spent all week before the anniversary making paper hearts that he asked me to string all over the house on the morning of the anniversary so that he and I could surprise his dad/my husband with all the love. It was such a kind gesture for a little boy to think of. I left the whole celebration in his little hands and it turned out beautifully! He told me he wanted to make an 'unforgettable' day for his parents.
