HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYAN; February 9, 2011

For Bryan's birthday, we did the "12 DAYS of BRYAN"! We copied this idea from a good friend--we thought it was a fabulous way to say "We Love You"! We typed a song, and attached a note to each day. In the beginning, we tried to be conspicuous...we sneaked the packages to a coworker, we asked the coworker to be "secretive", and then we pretended innocence. However, as day 4 rolled around, our secret was known. We spent the last 8 days talking and laughing at each new surprise. We had a great time showering our husband and daddy with love!

This is what we did for the "12 Days of Bryan":

On the first day of Bryan, your true "loves" gave to you
One bag of Jerky...
ba dum dum dum
(I typed a tune that I thought went with the song "ba dum dum dum", and then later realized that it really didn't go with the tune. At the time, when I was writing the clues--it seemed to fit. The mistake was worth it; however, because it allowed for many days of laughter.)

On the second day of Bryan, your true "loves" gave to you
Two TEXAS items
ba dum dum dum

Third Day: 3 cans of pringles

Fourth Day: 4 Chocolate Kisses (Because Bryan's birthday is so close to Valentine's day, we were able to buy 4 Giant Kisses. We then made a tag for each kiss. Each tag had a sentiment of love from us...an obvious giveaway as to who was delivering the goodies. We curled each tag, and attached them to the top of the individual KISSES to make it look like the original tag that comes with a Hershey kiss.)

Fifth Day: 5 Green Apples (with caramel dip)

Sixth Day: 6 Root beer

Seventh Day: 7 "texts" of LOVE

Eight Day: 8 favorite candy bars

Ninth Day: 9 Fortunes (We placed "fortunes" in nine fortune cookies, which were in a Chinese take-out box.)

Tenth Day: 10 Treasure Hearts

Eleventh Day: 11 Cookies

Twelfth Day: 12 Balloons with 12 Nutter Butters (We attached a note to the package of Nutter Butters that read: There is "nuttin better" than you! We then tied the bouquet of balloons to the Nutter Butters. Each balloon had a message inside.)

On Bryan's birthday, we enjoyed family time while eating cake and ice cream!

Bryan is the love of my life! He is my best friend! I thank my Heavenly Father for such an amazing husband and friend. I am so blessed to have him in my life. We are a team! He keeps me "sane" in moments of insanity, and keeps me laughing through every day life. He is my other half.

Bryan, I think the only thing that could even come close to that is a trip to hawaii. and invite us to come along. Carrie, you really do have great ideas and i need them all written down in some sort of spreadsheet or something. :)
