FIVE years and counting!



Today we celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary! It was a great day...started out with a lazy brunch all together as a fam (Brett had apricots for the first time). We exchanged cards then, too.

Then, I got some time in at the gym (preparing for our upcoming caloric windfall at dinner), while Brett hung out in the "Kids' Club" and my sweet hubby worked in the garage. Yes, he worked in the garage on our anniversary - what a modern-day hero!

Next, that same sweet hubby played with the little man while I got ready for our big date. We headed out, dropped Brett off at Grandma and Grandpa's, and then began our date!

We enjoyed a FANTASTIC dinner at the Macaroni Grill at Bridgeport...didn't even have to wait to be seated! I guess everyone was waiting in line for tickets to Batman or something...to top it off, the first song that played at the restaurant was Frank Sinatra's Too Marvelous For Words, which just happened to be the song we danced to at our wedding reception. When I say "danced," I mean that we practiced for months a foxtrot/swing routine, complete with spins and dips! It was so fun to relive that little moment in our married history. We devoured our tasty meal, and even got free chocolate cake because it's my birthday in two days. Then we walked off a few of the calories by heading over to Whole Foods to get some more avocadoes for our little guy (his favorite green food to date).

Last, we went to a movie that really isn't worth mentioning, but it was still fun to be together without constantly listening for squeaks and whimpers in the baby monitor! Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa for giving us such a great night off! Thanks, sweet hubby for making this day so wonderful! Thanks, Lord, for blessing our marriage and growing family! Both of us expressed the same sentiment throughout the day - imagine where we'll be in five more years...! Yipes; I'm guessing we'll be severely outnumbered by little people by then! :)
Here's a little montage of random photos from the last few years...
