Happy Anniversary to Us!

Date: Nov 23rd

Well this year our Anniversary fell on 

Thanksgiving!

I hadn't even realized that would happen every so many years!

But I found it appropriate...

because I am forever thankful for Ryan

and all the love and joy he brought into my life!!

I figured our Anniversary would be low key this year with us
just returning from Idaho and then having it be Thanksgiving day.
But of course Ryan always spoils me.
We exchanged gifts and cards that morning.
Little did I know he had booked a resort for us for the weekend
and Grammie was coming to stay with the little girls!
Aaahhh he's the best! ;)

So Friday we took off for one of our favorite spots,
The Fairmont Princess

And lucky for me this is the same place we do the Christmas event each year!!
So we got an extra festive getaway!
I love holiday stuff, Ryan...not so much! lol
But hey at least I told him we could knock out 2 trips in one shot.
Maybe now we won't have to pay a fortune to drag the kids back here in a week! lol

Ryan had als0 booked me some spa time!
Ahhhhh how I love that.
But maybe he just really loved paying for his alone time too! lol

Chocolate Leg Treatment!

hhmm wonder how it tastes?

Then we had a yummy dinner
and walked around the resort grounds checking out the festivities!

 

Ice Skating

Finally my ankles were killing from the skates,

so we moved on to something else. 

(maybe I'm getting too old for ice skating?! lol)

We headed over to the village of rides.

At the top of the Ferris Wheel!

 Ryan was insistent we sat on the same side of the ferris wheel bucket.

 I was insistent that we were for sure gonna dump out of that thing.

Weight imbalance at it's finest! lol

After he purposely started rocking our bucket at the highest point...
he got booted to the other side of the bucket! punk!

His fake "we're gonna fall out" scared face.

And right then something so loud hit the top of our bucket roof

and fell all the way to the ground.

Which really did scare us it was so loud! lol

Yep...Daddy's not gonna be happy when he hears his teeny bopper dropped her new iPhone! lol

We got peppermint hot cocoa then made our way through the rest of the lights.
Eventually we headed back to our room to change and hit the hot tub.
Then we lounged in a cabana by the pool and called the kids to rub it in! ;)

On our way back to our room we ran into Santa getting off shift!
Yes Ryan did scream his name in pure Buddy the Elf excitement.
Yes I did duck for cover I was laughing so hard.
And not to draw more attention to ourselves as we were in our hotel robes
wandering around with all the fancy guests all dressed up! lol

The next day we just lounged, went Christmas shopping,
ate a yummy lunch and just enjoyed our kid free time.

Eventually we returned home to our babies
who were so anxious to see us!

Happy 4 years Babe!

I know, wait is that right?  It feels like 14 or maybe even 40!! lol
You're such a great Husband and Daddy!
I love you more each and every day!
