This was a really fun weekend! Since our actual anniversary fell on the same night as Bible study (and ended up being an incredibly stressful day with VBS and the little wretches...I mean, humans), Steve and I celebrated on Saturday night.
Here we are, busting out our date night selfie...
Aaannnddd...the pretty version with the help of Instagram filters...
I'm pretty sure my life motto is #alwaysuseafilter.
Steve made reservations at Ray's On The River, and told them it was our anniversary. When we got there, they sat us at a window seat, so we could actually see the river, and the hostess unenthusiastically threw "happy anniversary" confetti on our table. Seriously. Her total lack of any emotion made it kind of hilarious.
Dinner was a knockout! We had a crab cake appetizer with a sweet corn relish that was just delicious, and I had a lobster tail for my main course! Oh my word. It was amazing. Steve had a horseradish-encrusted grouper that he loved, and the restaurant surprised us with a chocolate cake for dessert. It was just a really nice evening to eat in a quiet, romantic setting and enjoy a great meal! (Not to mention, celebrating nine years of general awesomeness.)
Meanwhile, the girls were doing this...
How To Train Your Dragon 2 is in theaters, and because Mel's an amazing aunt, she took the girls! AND bought them snacks! They were in heaven! Evelyn even made it through the entire movie, although there's a rumor going around that she may have tried to slither through the seats like a snake on her belly in the middle of the movie. Just sayin'.
After church on Sunday, our wonderful friends, Ben and Carolyn Smallwood, were back in town, so we got to all meet up for lunch! They live in Colorado right now while Carolyn finishes her medical residency, but they're hoping to move back here more permanently once she's done next summer, so they were in town for job interviews.
Carolyn is just one of those friends who you feel like you've never left. It was so much fun!
The peeps...again with a snazzy filter.
And a more realistic display of how "in-synch" we are!
It's so fun to see this group with babies and to see how life has grown us in the past five years! It has literally been two or three years since this group was all together, in the same room. It did my soul good!
Tonight, I think we're tackling our first "vacation project"...the playroom! Hopefully, I'll have pictures tomorrow!
