Sweet hub made my birthday really special. It was a tiring week and I did not fancy going out. It was the perfect celebration. We left together to go to work the day before. Little did I know, he actually came home and carried out his plans. :) He came out again to meet me at the station then travelled home with me as if he was at work all day. He surprised me with my favourite cupcakes in all the world.
He made slow-cooked braised beef! 6 hours! So lovely.
Balloons were everywhere.
He made a lovely breakfast the next morning.
Then the games began! I've always been gushing about treasure hunts and clues. His younger brother once threw him one on his birthday. So he decided to give me one for mine! I was the happiest girl that day. I woke up a little bleary-eyed and slumped lethargically on the sofa. Once he gave me this envelope, everything changed! (I'm beginning to realise that Good Things come in Envelopes). He did well appealing to my love for letters, snail mail and mysteries.
My heart was pounding and I was as thrilled as a boy in a GIGANTIC candyshop. In case you're too lazy to read the letter above, there were 24 clues. I shall pick a few of my favourite as there are too many to post.
My work sheet for the above. :D The answer is: Engagement Shot!
Also, I get three lifelines. :D A phone-call, a demand for an answer and a kiss for encouragement!
The answer was my boots! Which side? The right side because 'Oh! I know I've got nothing in me LEFT'. THIS BOY IS A GENIUS. LOVE IT!
He made me sing it out loud. Haha. ❤
I stuck my conquests on the wall panel. This was not even half.
Finally, I made it to clue 12 and I got a beautiful gift as a half-time reward. Clue 13 was my favourite!
My worksheet for the above.
The answer: Find L-O-V-E in the alphabet sequence and do the math. You get SOFA! Look behind! Yippee!
The half-time meal. Lunch time! He made my favourite. Tacos!!!
I finally won the game. Haha. After 3 whole hours! As you can see in the clues, after finding all 24, the pen markings at the corners of the clues come together to form the final clue. His layers of thought, creativity and detail astound me. Each colour set forms a clue.
My worksheet: 4 colour sets. Formed: room bottom right store box =) YAY!!!!
I found my beautiful gift which I will be enjoying for many nights to come.
Then, for dinner, we had a friend over. My husband made lovely vegetarian food. Very tasty gnocchi.
Heavenly mushroom risotto.
Wonderful fruit salad and creme fraiche. (Jessie's lovely recipe)
And THE CAKE! My favourite cheesecake!
The next day, some beautiful flowers. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and might I say, best birthday yet again.
