John's 30th birthday is December 13th and he vetoed all big plans I had made for the big day because he didn't "want to spend money just to spend money." Frugality runs in both our veins so I understand but I wanted to do something big for such a big milestone.
So in effort to still make his day memorable we have started a countdown..."The Last 12 days of 29"! I can't take credit for the idea. My friend Steph's family did it for her and I thought it was so creative. So we have already had 3 days of fun. Every night we come in and sing the song and add one more of John's favorite things to the list. Let's catch you up...
Day #1
Day #2 
Day #3
On the 12 Last Days of 29 my family gave to me...
3 juicy kisses...
2 turtle doves...
and a cup of Banana Pie icecream!
Stay tuned for the rest of the countdown!

OH MY GOSH Christy I hope you save that picture forever and ever! It is so sweet to see you all kissing John and the look on his face - so cute! What a great idea! I have quite awhile to count down Danny's 12 days til 30... because he's Brett's age! YIKES!!!! I'll just have to remember it for six years down the road I guess...
Christy...that is such a fun idea. I just love the picture of the kiss. Such love!! Is the forth day, four butt kicking’s from the Greene family on Mario Kart?
very cute idea....30 is a big day! you are always so creative!
What a great idea! Cameron's 30th is coming up soon and that's such a great way to make it special. I made your ooey gooey chocolate cookies the other night for FHE and let me tell you, I LOVE them and cannot keep my hands off of them! One is NOT enough!
that is such a GREAT idea! I LOVE the picture of you guys kissing John it is so cute!
This is such a fun thing to do...I bet Austin and Brock are having a blast doing these things for their daddy!! AAGGHHHH...my 30th is not far behind John's... that # just makes me feel over the hill!!!
What a cute idea, although I want something BIG when I turn 30. The month before will be our 10th anniversary so Bryon better start saving his money=} For my husbands 30th we had a surprise party for him at Laser Quest. Super fun.
How fun! You are very creative. I hope all is well! I cant believe all the boys turn 30 this year! That is crazy!
I saw that on Steph's blog and I LOVE it! Can you believe our men are almost 30? Are we all really getting that old?
Christy! I needed that idea a month ago! That is the greatest idea. For sure let us know how the rest of it goes. Hope you guys are doing well. We better be getting a Christmas Card:)
What a great idea Christy! so clever.
What a cute idea! I will have to remember that one! LOVE the picture of you guys all kissing him, so dang cute!
Yeah! I'm so glad you are doing it! It really made turning 30 so much fun! I'm excited to see all the things you do! You are seriously such a great wife!
Christy this countdown idea is so dang cute. It makes us so much more special and real when it's lingered on like this...GREAT IDEA!
I can't thank you enough for sending that poem to me. It was probably the most tender set of words I've read since my miscarriage. It's amazing how if I were to read that even a day before I miscarried...it would NOT mean the same as it does now. I just sobbed and sobbed through it. I have felt this sweet baby already in my life and the experiences are so sacred that you can't even find words and as a matter of fact you don't even want to. You just want to keep it all to yourself.
I can't thank you enough...really.
What a cute idea...you do such a good job doing fun stuff with your kids. Hope John has a great 12 days!
Hey Hope things are going well for you guy. Tell John Happy Birthday when it get here. Me (dewayne) and Elli are doing great. Hope all is well. The idea sound fun.
