Obviously the holidays got in the way of some blogging! We had a blast wrapping up the 12 Dates of Christmas, though! (To catch up, start here then read this and that.)
So, here’s what you’ve missed:
On the 7th date of Christmas, my true love gave to me…a chance to dance to some records. This is actually a REALLY big deal for the no-dance-I-just-shuffle Troy. I ask him to dance with me all the time to some slow songs but he usually isn’t a fan. Our choice tonight: some classic Jack Johnson.
On the 8th date of Christmas, we celebrated being on Christmas break and went to the Wild Lights! The Columbus Zoo really does outdo themselves every year. So pretty! And we got macarons and coffee afterwards. :)
(here’s what we would look like as aliens:)
On the 9th date of Christmas, we enjoyed some friends being over at our home. We love some Keller family time. We made Hawaiian BBQ Chicken and introduced them to the wonderful world of Spoon Me. Frozen yogurt fans, raise your hands!
On the 10th date of Christmas, we rang the Kettle Bell! We really wanted to do something amongst our 12 dates that wasn’t all about us and I think we’ve found a new Current family tradition. We rang the bell for the Salvation Army folks all morning and were blessed tenfold. Talk about being humbled and gaining some perspective. There are giving hearts everywhere. Beforehand, we got some muffins from Pattycake Bakery and coffee from World Gallery. (Yea, Clintonville!)
On the 11th date of Christmas, we travelled. Yeah, not as exciting, I know. But Troy surprised me by getting us a yummy peppermint shake to share. We were just happy to see family – that’s a Christmas gift in itself.
On the 12th date of Christmas, we trekked around one of our favorite little towns, Yellow Springs, with Ricky J (my favorite father-in-law). We got some great sandwiches from a place near to our heart, Current Cuisine (thanks, Aunt Karen and Uncle Steve!) and then some AMAZING coffee from the Underdog Cafe. The fun part was watching the two Current boys have a good ole time. Again, family = blessing.
To recap… :)
On the 1st date of Christmas, we went to a Blue Jackets’ game (and they won!).
On the 2nd date of Christmas, we tried a new restaurant and ate sushi at Edamame!
On the 3rd date of Christmas, we stayed in, made pizza and played Blokus (Troy boy’s favorite board game).
On the 4th date of Christmas, we walked down the street for some BBQ!
On the 5th date of Christmas, we dressed in our fancy clothes and saw Over the Rhine’s holiday concert at the Taft.
On the 6th date of Christmas, we took the pups hiking and got brunch at Northstar (our favorite!).
On the 7th date of Christmas, we slow danced to some records.
On the 8th date of Christmas, we went to the Wild Lights at the Columbus Zoo.
On the 9th date of Christmas, we had friends over!
On the 10th date of Christmas, we were Salvation Army kettle bell ringers!
On the 11th date of Christmas, we travelled and split a shake.
On the 12th date of Christmas, we explored Yellow Springs.
So, there you have it, folks! The best part about all these dates was the purposefully planned time with my one and only. Goodness, I’m a lucky gal. I hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas and were able to soak in the blessing of our dear Savior’s birth.
