Celebrating 11 Years!

Last Saturday, Clay & I celebrated our 11th anniversary! It's hard to believe that it's already been another year since our awesome Mexico trip last summer. The time has flown. We have such a great life together with our sweet kids. I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks for a great 11 years honey. I can't wait to see what the next 11 will be like. You're the best!

We chose to celebrate by spending the night at the Gaylord Texan. Clay's sister works there so she hooked us up with a great room deal. We took another couple with us who had also celebrated their 11th earlier in the summer. We had a great time relaxing with Brian & Danyelle.

We ate dinner at the steakhouse at the hotel. It was so DELICIOUS! We loved every bite. After dinner we walked around the hotel and then went over to the Glass Cactus. They had a fun band playing that night and it was also a great place to people watch.

Sunday morning, we ate breakfast at one of the coffee shops and then went to the pool for a couple hours. It was so nice and peaceful to be at a pool with no children to be responsible for. We love our babies so much, but it was nice to have some grown up time.


We had to take pictures of our desserts because they were so beautiful. They were also, as the waitress would say, "phenomenal" We did a little spouse switcheroo for dessert. Brian & I shared this yummy chocolate cake. Clay & Danyelle shared the carrot cake cheesecake.




After dinner we visited the kiddie shop at the hotel. Some of us had to let our inner "kid" come on out. :)

How fun!!! I have always wanted to stay at the Gaylord. I have hinted and hinted to Aric, but he chooses to play dumb to my hints. : ) Oh well. Looks like you guys had fun. I love anniversaries, but I can't imagine 11. I am such a babe in marriage. : )
