It was out 5 years married and 10 years together. I felt like that was a milestone (10 years!!!). So we dropped LO off for the day with his mom and we went antique shopping (?!?) and for a nice, fancy dinner. And I got a pretty ring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1798176 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 20:22:10 +0000 Anagram 1798176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This year, we are flying to another city to see my hudband's fave NFL team play...with two of DH's friends "for our anniversary". </p> <p>So yeah, sometimes a guys idea of a great gift is...different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1798164 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 20:15:14 +0000 apis 1798164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice dinners. And for some of the anniversaries, gifts. But not all. But definitely cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797987 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 17:36:07 +0000 cyndistar3 1797987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually we hike tubs hill take a picture at the top and go to dinner and a movie :) this year we might skip the hiking since I'll be 33 weeks pregnant. We might go to the cda resort/ casino for the night this year as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797975 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 17:23:56 +0000 CakeLady 1797975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We take turns planning something to celebrate. For anniversaries 1 &amp; 3 DH made hard to get reservations at great restaurants. I planned a weekend away for #2 and dinner and a show for #4. This year we are planning a short road trip weekend away, since we'll have DS with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797899 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:34:21 +0000 MrsKRB 1797899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice dinner/night out on the town, we also do the Hallmark traditional anniversary gifts </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797892 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:30:25 +0000 teamjse 1797892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually just go out for dinner, we keep it really low key. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797885 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 16:20:43 +0000 youboots 1797885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually we take our big trip each year for our anniversary. October is a great time for us to travel. Last year was Hawaii, this year Cancun. LO could change that, but we will see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797807 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 15:21:00 +0000 LindsayLou 1797807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually use it as an excuse to get away for a night, usually to the beach. Nice dinner out, or cook a nice dinner at home if a weekend trip doesn't work out. We exchange cards, but no gifts. My husband is more romantic and thoughtful than I am, so he usually is better about planning it all out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797715 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 14:23:11 +0000 yoursilverlining 1797715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the past we’ve gone down to Boston for a weekend getaway at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, or a weekend away at an oceanside resort about an hour from where we live. We’ve also gone out to a really nice dinner out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797705 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 14:16:15 +0000 cascademom 1797705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: Happy anniversary!</p> <p>Usually, it's a nice dinner out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797629 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 13:36:14 +0000 BKCaribBaby 1797629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: Happy Anniversary! Mine is on Friday. </p> <p>We usually do a nice dinner, although last year it was not as nice because LO was still small. We are actually doing a special weekend this weekend, since it's our 5th. It will be our first time both being away from LO at the same time. Slightly nervous but excited for the time.</p> <p>Sometimes we exchange gifts, sometimes not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797625 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 13:34:09 +0000 auggiefrog 1797625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually go out to dinner, this year we might take a cheap-y long weekend trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797614 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 13:28:46 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1797614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our first year we went on two trips.

This year we also had a couples spa day before dinner. </p> <p>I would like to try to go on a small trip for future anniversaries but it is hard because we don't have family in town. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797582 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 13:17:27 +0000 sandy 1797582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually go out for a nice dinner but we've used it as an excuse to get away or splurge on something - broadway show, concert, etc. We had our wedding guests sign bottles of champagne (my MOH gifted us 5 bottles of Dom Perignon) and we opened a bottle on our anniversary (last year was our last bottle). We don't exchange gifts though </p> <p>This year DH said I could get an anniversary band if I wanted but I'm not a big jewelry person. I think this year we'll just get a hotel room in the city and go out to a nice dinner, sleep in and spend the next day together while my parents stay with LO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797576 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 13:15:00 +0000 Littlebit 1797576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do a nice dinner and gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797536 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 12:54:04 +0000 cheert16 1797536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Out to dinner mostly with LO now- Before LO we went away for a vacation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797535 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 12:53:56 +0000 mrsjyw 1797535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Travel or a nice dinner out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797528 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 12:51:17 +0000 illumina 1797528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually do whatever I plan, which is usually a weekend away.

I usually get a dozen roses. Sometimes we plan a big trip, if that's how our vacation planning happens to work out; sometimes a weekend trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797464 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 12:18:39 +0000 swurlygurl 1797464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't do anything. In order to placate his family we 'get each other a gift', but it's really just something we were getting anyway. This year our anniversary present was a new concrete pad under our AC unit!<br /> Next year is year #5, so I'd like to make it an excuse to go on a trip and call it a 5-year trip, but really I just want to go on a vacation somewhere different!<br /> On our anniversary this year we told each other 'happy anniversary' in the morning, and then worked late and had boring soup for dinner... haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797457 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 12:16:34 +0000 bushelandapeck 1797457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually do dinner and gifts. I try to keep to the traditional yearly gifts, so this year (3rd anniversary) I got a little leather card personalized for him to keep in his wallet. Hopefully he thinks it's as cute as I do :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-normally-celebrate-your-anniversary#post-1797455 Mon, 04 Aug 2014 12:16:05 +0000 Smurfette 1797455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: Happy Anniversary!</p> <p>Dinner and drinks.
