Thursday was our 5 year wedding anniversary. And though it started with us taking Alex to have tubes put in his ears, we could not have asked for a better day together. Since we had to stay home with the baby after surgery, we both had the day off and it was glorious to get to spend the whole day together.
Other than spending quality time with the baby, we also took advantage of the time together by doing what all old, married couple get excited about...cleaning our house and running errands. I know, that may sound lame but it is a rare occasion around these parts to spend quality time together like that...so judge if you must, but know that it was perfect for us.
After getting Jillian from school, we came home and did a quick dinner and bath for the kids. We had dinner reservations at 8:30, so the babysitter came around 8 PM so we could make it on time.
Before we left, our sitter snapped a few quick pics of us. Bubsy was already asleep, but we got some quick photos of us with our sweet girl.

| Happy Anniversary, Mommy and Daddy! |
She was so sweet, telling Julian that he looked handsome and giving me a "beautiful kiss because I looked beautiful." Love that girl!
The 5th anniversary gift is traditionally wood, so I got some wood bracelets for Julian. But my gift paled in comparison to his gift to me -- a new Kate Spade purse. I'm not sure what my purse has to do with with wood -- maybe it's more like "WOODn't you like an awesome new purse?!" Uhh, yes please! We also have plans to buy a tree and plant it in our yard to commemorate our 5th wedding anniversary.
Off we went to our dinner date at Christopher's..."ohhh, you fancy, huh?!" It was a great, intimate, delicious dinner for two! The food was amazing, the service was great, and the view wasn't bad for either of us to see each other across the table...
But most of all, the dinner conversation was great. We talked about important things, we talked about silly things, we dreamed about the future, and we reflected on the past.
It was a perfect night and by far our best anniversary to date! There was something a little extra special about this milestone of celebrating our 5th Anniversary. After a long day, we called it a night after dinner and went home with a renewed commitment to loving one another and working at our marriage daily.
And I couldn't ask for anything more perfect than that...
