fifth anniversary

Friday was our 5th anniversary!  Unfortunately Paul had been out of town for work all week and only got home at 9:30 that night but we still managed to celebrate.  On Saturday we dropped Chloe off at Bapa's house and went to Crocker Park for dinner.  We went to Brio for the first time (thank you Uncle Joe) and our meal was fantastic.  We both agreed that it was the best meal we had ever had at a restaurant.  We also did a very anniversary type thing and stopped at Bed Bath and Beyond and bought an extra set of silverware.  Somehow we have managed to only have about 5 spoons left of our originals we received when we were married.  Luckily, they still sell our set and we just needed to buy one set.  We also walked around a few stores together.  We hardly go out just the two of us and we both agreed that it was a perfect date night, even if we were home and in our PJ's by 9:30.

only picture of us from the weekend

Chloe needed a picture with Mommy before we left for the night.  She saw I was wearing a dress and quickly picked one out to wear to Bapa's.  She also picked out those bright yellow pants, Finding Nemo socks and her white Easter shoes.  :)
