Happy Anniversary Honey!

12 years we have been married now.

Oh my goodness.

That went by so quickly.

Aimee took this picture for us to remember the day.

She is quite the little photographer.

It was also Michael's birthday.

He has been requesting this cake for about 8 months.

He bought me a cookbook with a beautiful cake on the cover for Christmas. He said that the cake was why he bought it. He wanted to try it. I admit I was intimidated by it. It is very rich and incredibly chocolaty. The frosting was like a satin marshmallow that was covered in cake crumbs. This is what it looked like.

The munchkins took Michael to the botanical gardens to celebrate his special day. We had a picnic lunch and a really LONG WALK. It was nice. The munchkins were so excited showing Daddy everything, all their favorite spots, the animals, the trees. It was sweet. Then we came home and had cake and ice cream before he shuffled off to work. Poor guy had to work on his birthday.

:(

That is okay because that just meant we had to celebrate the next day as well!

He got a gift card to Chilli's and we used it!

I hope he enjoyed his day.

I think he is anxious to get back to work on the addition though. One weekend off is good for him too.

Oh...

I have to show you what we got for our anniversary...

Aren't they pretty?

Belle loves to smell them!
