After a bout with strep throat, Layne and I quietly celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary on June 5th with a home cooked meal and movie at home. McKenzie and Karlee got involved by setting the dining room table for two with our "good dishes, candles, and fresh cut flowers." (Karlee even made place cards that said on mine - I love daddy, and on Layne's - I love mommy.) As the kids were eating their pizza dinner, Karlee said, "I wish I had some romance!" :) She was so funny! After pizza, the kids went to the basement to watch a movie so Layne and I could have our dinner. I made shrimp and corn pudding with roasted potatoes, salad and bread. For dessert we invited the kids to join us for homemade carrot cake with cream cheese and white chocolate frosting. It was fun! The kids went to bed and we started watching Australia - I think we made it to about 10:30pm maybe 11:00pm before we were falling asleep! Wow, we are getting old! :) We have had so much fun in our 16 years of marriage, and so many adventures! I love sharing my life with Layne!
So fun! I love how the kids were so involved in the evening. They will always remember the day and probably incorporate it into their own anniversary celebrations!
