Happy Anniversary

Today is my 36th Wedding Anniversary

Hard to believe it's been that long since our journey began...

 This was our first apartment.

We lived in the downstairs apt on the right.

It was an old place but a very charming place.

What wonderful memories you make in your very first "home" together!

This is us as newlyweds

Sometimes we miss the old days...those beginning days.

It was fun starting out, but back then we didn't have Manuel or Mark,

OR Hannah, Ethan, and Sarah

and what in the world would our lives be like without them?

We had planned to do dinner and a movie tonight but of course, 
the day got crazy and we didn't get to leave as early as we would have liked.
So we settled for a quiet dinner at Olive Garden and then did some Christmas shopping.
We should have asked the waitress to take our picture, but we didn't
so I tried to take one ourselves (but those never turn out very well for us, ha ha)

 This is my hubby trying to eat his dinner

 and this was our dinner (the Mixed Grill) and it was DELICIOUS!

 We had parked our KIA Soul next to a friend :0)

 So the boys had company while we were dining.

 Btw, here are the Boys, decked out for Christmas

Here is the beautiful Christmas tree in the center of the shopping village we visited

 It changes colors

 Isn't it beautiful!
