Last weekend was our planned celebration of our anniversary. The kids were all geared up to spend the night with Mike and Melissa and we were heading downtown to do dinner at Chops and spend the night at the Ritz. Poor Melissa ended up with food poisoning Friday night from a work party...thanks work party! They called us around noon on Saturday to let us know. We tried to cancel and let them off the hook but they were insistent! Mike said he could play the single dad routine if he had to. ha! We are so very very lucky to have friends that feel like family and love our kids like family. Actually, we are blessed to have more than a few friends like this. So Uncle Mike pulled up Sat in his FJ and the kids went ballistic. They are little FJ groupies...even Emily says "I want to ride in the FJ." Christian hooked in their car seats and as we were chatting the kids were climbing to get in there and go. They gave us goodbye kisses just to boot us out of there. Not that we were hating it...they were so excited!

Off we went to walk around Lenox for a few minutes then to check into the Ritz!!! I had several friends tell us to let them know it was our anniversary because they always acknowledge it somehow. They upgraded us to a suite for free! The highest suite except for the Presidential Suite. We were on the 21st floor overlooking the Atlanta Skyline! Here are a few pics from our suite.
We ate dinner at Chops in Buckhead. The steak and drinks were fabulous. Our table was fantastic. The wait at the Valet - FREEZING. No problem though because we headed strait back to the room! The breakfast the next morning was AWESOME though not cheap. I think Christian and I would have been just as happy at the Waffle House but didn't hurt having it rolled into your room while you're wearing PJs!!!

Thanks again Mike & Melissa for a great weekend all around. The kids had an absolute ball with you guys and the kitty cats. They are still talking about them...and of course, the FJ.
