Chaos and Cupcakes

This past Monday marked our 9th anniversary.  The nine years have absolutely flown by.  I am so thankful to be married to the world’s most wonderful husband and father.  Jared is a very hard-worker, ambitious, intelligent, passionate about his job and family, witty, and fun.  He is truly my best friend.  Thank you for always taking such good care of us, Jared!

We celebrated a day late.  Last night we went to The Melting Pot for dinner and then went to a movie.  Dinner took longer than we expected so we didn’t get to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button as we had planned.  Instead, my sweet husband (I told you he was wonderful!) took me to see Twilight.

Jared's anniversary gift- new sunglasses

Today was a nice, relaxing, low-key New Year’s Eve.  We went to lunch at Chili’s and then did some shopping.  We came home and relaxed for a bit before dinner.  Inspired by our delicious anniversary dinner, we decided to make a new New Year’s Eve tradition– fondue!  The kids loved it!  Taylor asked me tonight if he had to stay up late, because he was tired and wanted to go to bed.  So we had a faux countdown to midnight at 9pm, sang Auld Lang Syne, had Martenelli’s, and sent the kids up to bed.  A funny story about the Martenelli’s– Taylor declined having a glass.  I asked him why and he said, “I don’t drink alcohol.”  I explained to him that Martenelli’s is non-alcoholic sparkling apple cider.  He said, “Can I read the ingredient list myself, please?”  Once satisfied with the “Contains no alcohol” on the front label, he accepted a glass.  I sure love that kid.
