A Celebration of Love

On Friday Tyler took the afternoon off. Aliyah and I headed downtown to pick him up from work and had a delicious lunch at Cafe Trio on the Plaza.


After lunch, we met Tyler's mom in the AMC movie theatre parking lot so that Tyler and I could sneak away for a couple hours. However, at the ticket counter, we weren't impressed with our options so we just decided to walk around. The weather was amazing - we spent a little time at a book store, I bought a pair of more comfortable shoes at Target to replace my high heals, we stopped to get some ice cream and headed off to the park... just the two of us.


We went home early to fit in a family nap with our little girl before dinner. When we woke up, we headed back to the Plaza at PF Chang's to meet up with Tyler's parents for dinner (they offered to take us out to celebrate). We all had such a great time reminiscing our special day 5 years ago.

Saturday, we spent the morning at the KC Zoo supporting "Pancakes for Penguins" with Aliyah's Uncle Russell and Aunt Jillian.

We walked all over and were even able to see behind the scenes of the new polar bear's penthouse and learned a lot about Nikita. After the zoo we went over to my parent's house for lunch and spent all afternoon visiting on the back porch.

Tyler and I were a bit hungry on our way home so we decided to stop for a quick bite at Chipotle for dinner. We ran into Tyler's brother and his wife there - completely unplanned! It was amazing that this weekend we were able to see our whole family!!

Sunday was another gorgeous day. We did a lot of cleaning, dusted off our bikes and decided to try out Aliyah's bike trailer. We rode to dinner, grabbing some veggie sub sandwiches and back home. We loved being back on our bicycles and were happy to share one of our favorite family activities with Ali J.

She is excited for her 1st bike ride!!
Chubby legs are SO cute... completely relaxed enjoying the ride
I love how Tyler matches the trailer :)
Two Big Smiles!!
We truly couldn't have asked for a more beautiful weekend to celebrate our anniversary.... perfect!
