"special" date night
Oh, hello again, blog world! I've been in Texas partying with my sisters and nieces and nephews for the past few days, and then catching up on time with my husband, so I haven't posted in a while! I'll do posts about my trip soon, but today I'm posting about something else.
Remember a few posts ago when I mentioned I was excited for an upcoming date with R? Well we went to Color Me Mine, a ceramic painting place, and worked on something I've wanted for a while.
I don't know if everyone does this, but at my house growing up, we had what we called the "special plate." We should have called it the "best plate" because it said "You're the best!" on it, but alas, it was the special plate.
The special plate was special because it was used only for birthdays, Mother's Day, and Father's Day. For us kiddos, that meant we only got to use it once each year! Thus it was special, indeed :)
Our plate (when I was growing up) was just from a store, but I wanted our plate (in my home now) to be more special. That is why we went to Color Me Mine: we got to choose the plate shape, the colors we used, and what the plate said, and then we got to paint it ourselves. It will be even more fun to use the "special plate" because it's something we made together, and we'll be able to recall the fun memories :)

Do you or did you ever have a special plate? Or what other fun family traditions did/do you have surrounding birthdays and special days? :)
