Birthdays and Anniversary

Orrin's Birthday was on February 2nd (easy to remember since it falls on Groundhog Day) and we celebrated with friends. Orrin picked dinner at Red Robin and then we went back to our house for Oatmeal cake and cookie dough ice cream (Orrin's request also). It was my first time making Oatmeal cake but I think it turned out excellent. Then we went bowling at 20th Century Lanes. It was a fun evening.


Our 5th Wedding Anniversary was on March 10th. I can't believe it's been 5 years already. The time really has flown by. Orrin planned a fun evening for our anniversary. We had dinner at Goodwood Barbecue, one of our favorites and stayed in a theme suite at the Anniversary Inn. The room was pretty fancy. Here are some pictures for proof.

Breakfast brought to the room in the AM


The traditional gift for the 5th anniversary is something wood. So...we bought a piano!!! We actually just bought it on the 17th (What a "lucky" St. Patrick's Day) and it was delivered yesterday. I played for over an hour yesterday. Love it!

My birthday was on the 14th of this month and it was really great because Aaron, Lisa, Jordan, Hallie and Jana were here in town visiting for the weekend so it was fun to have them here to celebrate. I requested Yellow cupcakes with Homemade chocolate frosting for dessert so Jana and Lisa took care of that for me. Thanks! I can't believe how old I'm getting.

That's the first annivesary inn pic I've seen where I think the room is actually pretty cool! And the piano is awesome. We have an older one my mom gave me and when my kids lest me play it - I do! Usually they climb all over me and pound around. Happy b-day to both of you!
