The weekend..

Mom and Dad came up Saturday to spend the day and keep Ella, so Chris and I could go out for our anniversary. Can you believe this weekend will be FIVE YEARS since we were married?!! We sure can't. It has been a super busy but wonderful five years, and we feel so lucky to be able to share all the ups and downs of life together.

It was kind of weird to get dressed up for a date night with just the two of us. Ella kept asking, "Mommy, where are we going?" I think she was a little shocked that we were going to go out without her. I could see it in her face that she was thinking, 'hey, we're a team! You're not supposed to go somewhere without me!!' :) Anyways, we went to Mesh, which is a deliciously wonderful restaurant here in West Chester. It is actually where we went last year for our anniversary when we were here house-hunting. At the time, we thought we would try to go at least once a month, but this is the first time we have been back since then. It's not really the kind of place you can take a two-year old- you know, quiet, sophisticated, candle-light, no chicken strips on the menu. But dinner was fabulous- the best filet and lobster tail we have ever had- and we loved the few quiet hours we got to spend focused on just each other.

A quick pic before we left (I'm pretty sure Ella was hiding under the table at this point because her feelings were hurt :)...
Awww... I love this man...And just a few sweet pictures from the weekend. It's always so much fun having Mom and Dad here and, of course, they spoil Ella like crazy.
