The traditional gift for 9 years of marriage is Pottery.
We just landscaped the backyard and it looks great (photos are coming soon). The retaining wall was built out of claystone pavers....(pottery maybe?) Does that count?
It's the best present because the weather has started getting warmer and I was really missing playing in the backyard with the kids. We spent a lot of time in our old house on the lawn and the wooden swing set. Now we have them both again and am just so happy and so are the kids.
Happy 9 years, honey. The kids and I love you and appreciate all that you do for our family.
