Our First Anniversary . . . the strawberry cream soda anniversary.

Gavin and I celebrated our first anniversary on Monday, October 8th, 2012. We told each other that we wouldn't buy each other any gifts this year. We did give each other cards and Gavin bought me the most beautiful red roses. I made Gavin dinner and we enjoyed a very quiet evening. Even Peter took the cue and made himself scarce for the evening.

Red roses and a chimp on my anniversary card. Gavin's card is in the bowl.

I forgot to take a picture of dinner. Here is what's left. 

Peter sleeping like the perfect little angel that he is.

Later that week on Saturday, October 13th, 2012, Gavin, Peter and I went out to eat at The Old Spaghetti Factory, located in downtown Phoenix. A year and a couple days ago, Gavin and I went to The Old Spaghetti Factory in San Diego on our honeymoon. Here are some pictures then and now.

Then: San Diego 2011

Now: Phoenix 2012

Isn't he handsome!

I'm so in love.

Peter always orders mama, but this time got baby formula. Needless to say he didn't tip well. 

Strawberry Creme Sodas . . . mmmm yum!

We went to Mary Coyle's after dinner, but our big day of visiting the park and then the evening festivities taxed our sweet little Peter and so we had to pack up early with our ice cream to go. Still yummy, but Peter was not a happy camper. 

The first year in our eternity together could not have been better celebrated. I am so lucky to have received all the blessings I have this last year. Heavenly Father truly loves me to give me such an amazing family of my very own.
