It wasn't so much a celebration of our anniversary inasmuch as it was THE FIRST TIME WE WERE LEAVING PEACE WITH A BABYSITTER. This was a very big deal for me. We left the kids with a most wonderful couple who swaps babysitting with us, and all went well during the 2 hours that we were gone for a lunch date.
We went to The Cheesecake Factory, and I had this amazing pasta called the Spicy Chicken Chipotle Pasta. It had honey glazed chicken, asparagus, red and yellow peppers, peas, garlic and onion in a spicy chipotle Parmesan cream sauce. It was heavenly. I highly, highly, highly, highly, highly recommend it. I got the lunch sized portion which was 2/3 the size of the regular portion (yes, I asked). It came in a bowl and I was eating it for at least 10 minutes and it didn't even look like I had made a dent in it. That seemed kind of magical and never-ending (which I like in a meal). Then, Vern and I split White Chocolate Caramel Macadamia Nut Cheesecake, which I also recommend. Am I making anyone else hungry yet?
This is what we looked like last year (when we took part in that event-which-I-shall-never-speak-of):
I don't have a picture of us from 2008, but we went to The Melting Pot.
And this was us in 2007 when we ate at Maggiano's:
I don't have a picture from 2006 either, but that is when we ate at the Macaroni Grill.
In 2005, we went to the Chanhassen Dinner Theater (notice how I am wearing the same dress from 2009... that is my fancy pregnancy dress... I got it for less than a dollar at a garage sale):
And then this is us from 2004 when we ate at Jerusalem's... (look at what babies we were and look at how I've never really changed my hairstyle since then):
And that is all of the pictures I have on my computer from our anniversaries (and I'm too lazy to scan in the ones that are printed and in photo albums... maybe another day). I don't even have a picture from our wedding to share with you all either. Oh well.
So, it has been a lovely anniversary, and I'm glad the babysitting went well. I'll try it again in 48 days when the movie Inception is released. If you all haven't heard of that movie yet, two word: Christopher Nolan. And three more words: Joseph Gordon Levitt. (Oh, and Leonardo DiCaprio is in it too). Must. See. That. Movie.

Are you actually going to PAY to go see inception? Good! Christopher Nolan deserves your money. An JGL is cute-ie pants. Did you see Brick?
love, your movie soul mate, kristin
This was great! I think it is really cute and funny that you remember what you did on each anniversary. Glad the babysitting went well; you are WAY ahead of me with that one. Happy anniversary!
Yes, Kristin, I am going to give Christopher Nolan my money. And I have never seen BRICK!
