With our busy schedules, my wife and I were having a hard time getting some "we" time in on our anniversary. So I cleared my afternoon, picked up flowers and gifts, and decided to try my hand at fondue.

I took the boys to soccer so she could get caught up on some work. Once the boys were in bed, I got the fondue going, unsure of how it would turn out. It could not have been better! We both loved it and it was quicker and easier that I imagined. This is a great idea for a winter dinner party.
