Number 10

This December was our 10 Year Anniversary

We made our night extra special by staying at the same hotel as we did after our wedding reception. It was tricky with a 3 month old plus four kids but we did it! {Big Thanks to both grandparents for taking the boys and baby Lily and Auntie Steph for taking Lexi} We started out by going to Muvico at the Thousand Oaks Mall and then did a little shopping to find a fancy dress to wear that night.

Me in our Hotel Suite waiting for our ride to pick us up --- I know right, we were fancy by having a car pick us up ;)

I told my SIL April that I wanted to go somewhere fancy for dinner that week before and she told us about Mastro's Steakhouse that her and her hubby go to when they want a fancy night out and so I made reservations and invited her and Eric to join us. It was great to have them there with us since they've seen us all through our marriage. They picked us up at our hotel and they even had music playing from when we were dating in the car! We had a great time at dinner just catching up and enjoying a very elegant dinner with no kids at our sides ;) Eric even picked up the tab which was a few pretty pennies ;) How nice was that!?! It was a very romantic night out and thanks to the Valuseks treat it made it even more special ;)

...and seriously the BEST Steak EVER!

We ate oysters for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the Caviar, Crab Legs, Shrimp, Bone-In Filet Mignon, and some really yummy sides of sweet potato fries, and gorgonzola mac n cheese along with creme brulee and chocolate pudding cake for dessert topped with some really good whipped cream...

Here's to 10 years! - and SO glad to be done with having babies! Now to raising them into happy healthy little people!
