6th Year Anniversary

We celebrated our 6th year of marriage last month (the day we headed to Horseshoe Bay), so we postponed our annual staycation in a hotel. 
Friday night Julie's parents and grandmother came in town to visit and give us a night away.  Caleb LOVED having his Mimi, Papa, and Great-Mimi in town and thought it was the biggest treat.  On Saturday morning we went to the Galleria and explored the mall with a stroller, a wheel chair, and an energetic 2 year old.  This was a sight to see!  Once we got both boys down for a nap, we were ready...
We were incredibly blessed to receive a gift card to stay at the Crescent and enjoyed our night of luxury.  Great Mimi and Julie's Mom came down to the hotel to see how beautiful it was (plus they dropped us off so that we could save $30+ and not pay to park the car at the hotel). 
We got bored within the first 30 minutes in our room-which was the goal.  We watched TV, read, walked around the shops near the hotel, enjoyed watching the elegant wedding guests arrive, explored the hotel, had a yummy dinner at Palomino, went swimming, turned the a/c down really low, and SLEPT IN until 9 am!!!
It was a wonderfully perfect way to celebrate our marriage-relaxing, remembering, and reconnecting.
This is the yummy treat from the hotel

The next day Mimi, Papa, and the boys came to pick us up and Caleb loved the escalator by the shops. 
This is a picture of Caleb and Daddy playing on 2 air mattresses.
Thanks Mimi, Papa, and Great-Mimi for sacrificing your weekend, sleeping on an air mattress, for loving on our boys, and making this wonderful weekend possible!  Caleb loved his time with you all and that is the best present in the world!
