Father's Day/Anniversary Weekend

Alex only liked the frosting!

This past weekend was a two for one kind of deal. June 15th marks our 6 year anniversary and of course it was Father's Day. It's hard to believe it has been 6 years, but when your on your third child, it seems like maybe it should be longer.

Saturday morning, we started a little early on the celebrating. The kids and I got up before Chad and prepared a little surprise: decorations and lemon poppy seed muffins. Later we found out that no one but me liked the muffins. Oh well, at least it was the thought that counts. Then later Saturday, Chad's parents watched Gabby and Alex while we went on a date to the traditional anniversary place: Cheesecake Factory and then on to the movies to see Indiana Jones (pretty good flick) We had a fantastic time on our date: something we rarely do.

As for presents, I received a much needed and wanted terry cloth robe since I'm always cold. And somehow it was decided that Chad would get a grill as a combo anniversary/father's day present. Little did we know, the grill would take most of what was supposed to be a leisurely weekend to assemble it. But once assembled we are so pleased with the grill. Sunday, Chad's parents came over for hot dogs and fun! We feel so blessed to have our families nearby.
