This past Saturday Justin and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary! I feel so honored to be his wife. No relationship is without the occasional spat, but for us, it never lasts long. Justin loves me like every girl dreams of. We truly are soul-mates, living a pretty awesome life together :) My precious sister-in-law, Shannon, offered to keep all three boys for a sleepover to give Justin and I some "alone" time. Lily was a perfect little angel. We decided to stay in and cook, rather than go out to a restaurant. Justin came home with a steak, 2 crab cakes, leeks and champagne! He butterflied the steak, and served it with the crab cake on top and steamed leeks. It was out of this world! We enjoy cooking together, but don't get the chance these days. It was so much fun! A few weeks ago, I got the idea to surprise Justin with a video game that we used to play in the dorms when we first met in college. He was so surprised, and we had fun playing it together, just like old times :) We are currently living some of the most precious years we will ever live, but getting to give each other our undivided attention is something we will enjoy in the future. It's good to be in love...
The kids were FILTHY the other day after playing in the lovely red dirt we have here in NC. The big boys usually take showers, but this time they all piled in together. It was so cute :)
Gabe had been begging to make "guy" cookies to decorate. I figured out he meant gingerbread cookies. So I made some sugar cookie dough and some different colored icing and they went to town!
I know you're jealous of my pool boy ;)
