As of the writing of this post, that is how long Jason and I have been married. This year we did not do anything especially special. We did though take the kids with us for an anniversary dinner last night to Famous Dave's. Pappy had taken Jason there earlier this year when Jason was visiting TN. Then we went as a family this past summer at the 3 day convention in Long Beach. #1 and #2 really enjoyed the ribs (which surprises me) so last night they were part of our All American Platter for 4. There was little left to bring home. We noticed #1's mouth when we were shopping later and I took a picture of it to remember the night. I am sure at some point we all had ribs smeared on our face. It was a fun evening and the kids thought it was special to join us for "the big dinner".

Today, as I have done every year, I bought a small marble cake like the one we had at the wedding. In years past, I have bought character marble cakes for the kids from the same bakery we got our wedding cake (the grocery store bakery, LOL, we are totally not uptown) but this year I did not plan well so we had a plain marble cake that tasted just as good.
