B(ack)log: Anniversary

David and I celebrated our 9th anniversary over a quiet dinner & impromptu drinks with friends. We don't do anniversary gifts, but David took me to Tulsa Runner to buy new running shoes. I'm not sure if the gift was buying one of the most expensive pairs in the store, or trying the shoes on without kids. :)

But I digress.

The day after our anniversary was a special event planned by our kids. They set the table with candles, our china, crystal, napkins (we still have some left from the wedding), and pictures of us when we were just a couple. Very sweet. We invited our parents over for dinner per Jack's request ("They are YOUR parents, they want to celebrate your wedding, too!"). We had fun looking at pictures, cards, & guest lists from various showers and the wedding. Poopa & Patti brought pictures from their wedding...Jackson didn't know what to think of Grandma's long blonde hair. It was a great celebration.

But it wasn't over.

The kids insisted.

Of course, we complied...
