A Dozen {Luuuhv} Eggs

There were no big gifts or trips for our anniversary this year. But that's usually when we have our most memorable moments anyway. I think we will both remember this one for a long time.
I gave Chris a dozen eggs. At the restaurant. He was a bit confused (and a little embarrassed, I think.)

A dozen ovum of adoration.

But they weren't just any old eggs. No, sirree! Inside each egg was something I love about my dear husband. One for each year we've been married.

I blew out the egg whites and yolks. After letting them dry I inserted the paper. I filled the holes with extra-think butter cream frosting.

He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do with them. I think the best he could hope for was that they symbolized I would make him breakfast in bed for 12 days (or something to that effect.) I had to tell him to break them open.

Lingerie on your anniversary? Cliche. A real chick wears a smile.

You should've seen the look on the waitress's face as she brought out our appetizer and saw Chris busting the shells of what looked like a carton of raw eggs.

Chris made history as the first husband told to not walk on eggshells - break 'em apart, baby!
