Celebrate

We had a great time celebrating our 5th anniversary weekend. Chris was off work last Friday so we went to the pumpkin patch (look for a post on that soon). We were able to catch a movie Friday night and have a fun date night Sunday night, too. Thanks to the grandparents for watching little Miss for us!

We decided to visit Frederick since we were married there. We wanted to dine at Venuti's where we had our rehearsal dinner, but they are closed for relocation so we went to Outback instead. It was a great casual night, and on our way home we "crashed" a wedding at Ceresville. Not literally but I did manage to snap one (albeit awful and therefore not posted) picture in the dark of the pergola where we wed. I can't believe it has already been five years.

Here we are at my parents' after dinner, posing with wedding photos...




Chris really made our anniversary special. He sent me flowers on Saturday (roses in our wedding color with white calla lilies, too - nice work, hubs!). He also gave me a sweet personalized picture frame since the 5th anniversary traditional gift is wood. Such a fun surprise! But our major gift to one another is a weekend stay at The Dinsmore House Bed & Breakfast in Charlottesville, VA. We will enjoy our little getaway in November and needless to say we are both looking forward to some time alone together.



On the drive back home from our date, we looked in the backseat and agreed the best gift from our marriage is our daughter, Charlotte. Her laughter melts us. Cheers to 5 more memorable years and beyond!
