Celebrating 10 Years

CHEERS to 10 Years!

Yes, we celebrated 10 years of marriage by taking the whole family out to dinner. 

Our anniversary falls right in the middle of flamenco season and well, it made a fancy trip impossible, a party impossible and really any of the things you feel pressured to do on the big ten, impossible! ;) So, we took these crazy kids out to our favorite restaurant and agreed to have a "real" celebration at a later date. Let's see if we actually make that happen before 11 years...

Taking the kids to Arigato means we have to order a plate of daikon radish to appease them. 

Thatcher gave us some space at one point and sat at the the sushi bar. 

Chocolate cake smiles from the kiddos. 

Because the chocolate cake wasn't enough, we headed over to Lovin' Spoonful afterwards. 

Our kids will sit and watch the slide show and point out all their friends. That's our sweet neighbor "Roo" (Andrew). 

They get extra excited when one pops up of them which isn't that uncommon. I received this text from my friend Jill the other day:

Andrew is concerned you may have a frozen yogurt problem. We are at the loving spoonful and we have seen your children in the photo montage in many different outfits. There is help for people like you, you just have to accept a higher power and your lack of control over frozen yogurt.  🍦🍦🍦

And the fun didn't end at Lovin' Spoonful people, that's right, we really know how to celebrate the Big 10! ;)

The Pirozzi's were sending us messages to wish us Happy Anniversary and then told us they were out downtown having dinner too. We jokingly said they should come over afterward for the PAARRTTY!  We got home from frozen yogurt and guess who knocked on the door? These three with a nice bottle of champagne and a bunch of candy for the kids. 

Arigato, Lovin' Spoonful, a surprise visit from the Pirozzi's which included Baby Stella AND we knew we had to wake up super early for flamenco commitments. We sure know how to celebrate the big 10 ;)
