When we opened the crackers we did both of ours at the same time and she ended up with both crackers I had to quickly snatch my one back

She pulled the puzzle out and, having seen it before, started to do it and then noticed what ring was attached, lol.

I dropped from my chair down on to one knee. I couldn't get my words out and think I just ended up mouthing them
Really really lovey way of doing it. Well thought out
