12 years!

 Twelve years! Wow!

This year we shared our anniversary with Peyton's First Communion. We celebrated our sweet boy all day and then headed to our usual Flemings for a late night dinner.  

Here is a trip down memory lane with our precious family. I could not be more proud of the family we have made!

Engagement dinner- 12 years ago

A couple weeks before our wedding we adopted these precious puppies. We are really missing our little boy. But our crazy Bailey keeps us plenty busy.

Our wedding day on April 25, 2009

Honeymoon in Turks and Caicos

1st Anniversary Trip to Vegas with a Helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon





Then came our sweet little Patrick in April 2011

Our second anniversary dinner was at Flemings a couple weeks after welcoming Patrick

We headed to Napa with a couple nights in Vegas for our third anniversary. We also went to the Flemings in Vegas.

Then came our sweet little Peyton in March 2013

Our 4th Anniversary, a couple weeks after welcoming Peyton, at Flemings.

We celebrated our 5th anniversary in Napa

But, we couldn't miss out on our tradition, so we went to the Fleming's in Palo Alto, California on our way home.

Then came our third little blessing, Conor, in February 2015

For our sixth anniversary, we had a laid back dinner at Flemings - 2 months after welcoming our sweet little Conor

And our seventh anniversary back at Flemings.

 

A couple weeks later we continued the celebration in D.C.

We spent our eighth anniversary at Fleming's and then went to L.A. Jackson, which is a rooftop bar overlooking the city.

A couple weeks later I joined Michael for a work conference in New Orleans. We went a little early for a belated anniversary getaway.

And then we welcomed our sweet little Caitie May in February 2018.

Back at Flemings for our 9 year anniversary dinner, 2 months after Caitie

We spent our 10th anniversary at a very rainy baseball game watching Patrick play and Michael pitch. We had planned to go out to a family dinner afterwards, but Peyton and Conor decided to jump in the rain and run up a sand mound. They were both covered in sand and mud. So we went home and ordered pizza and both fell asleep before actually opening our champagne. Definitely what our life looks like these days!

We went on the most fun 10th anniversary trip last year to Puerto Rico! It was such a blast!

11 years wasn't quite as exciting. It was right when the Coronavirus hit, so we were in quarantine for our anniversary.  Conor begged to be in our picture. I love this picture because it just shows the stage of life we were in.... surrounded by our precious little ones while trying to homeschool and work from home. 

We made it to Asheville for a very delayed 11th anniversary trip celebration in November. 

Happy Anniversary Michael!
