5 years!

well, this wasn't how i pictured our 5 year celebration to end...with all 3 of us being sick. chris has had aches & pains for a few days, gabe's had a runny nose and drippy eyes since friday, and now i've got the pain in the back of my throat :P

anyways, friday was our actual 5 year anniversary, but with work being so busy and chris not getting home until after 6:30, it was just too hard to go out and celebrate. instead, we ended up shopping @ costco and having chicken fingers for dinner :-)

so we postponed our celebration until tonight and the 3 of us went for dinner @ yew. i couldn't imagine celebrating our anniversary without our little buddy...it would be like a part of us was missing, so i chose yew for its kids friendliness. and i have to say, vanessa was right! the kid menu was fairly extensive (gabe had edamame to start, and chicken strips & fries), crayola twist crayons and colouring sheets, some twisty toy for ages 3+, a fun milk cup, fruit & yogurt...oh my! we usually resort to the ipod before appies even arrive, but gabe was so entertained tonight that we didn't need it until coffee/dessert and by that time he'd been behaving for 1.5 hours! another couple nearby us was so impressed with gabe's good behaviour they stopped by to compliment him :-) so sweet!

enough about gabe! chris and i had a feast...fresh oysters, calamari, beet salad, pork belly, paella, cheesecake w/cherries! mmmm, delicious meal! cheers to another great 5 years of marriage!

if only gabe would hurry up and get to sleep so i can go to bed...
