5 year wedding anniversary

Craig and I celebrating five years of marriage today. We feel so blessed with such a wonderful, loving and supportive relationship. And I also feel particularly blessed for the sake of our kids. I am always surprised and saddened when I hear couples bicker and talk to each other with negative tones. Yikes! I cannot even imagine Craig speaking to me that way.

Melanie is babysitting for us tonight after the kids go to bed and Craig and I are going out! We were planning on going to a movie with our free Regal Cinema tickets but thanks to a very generous anniversary gift from my parents we have decided to try out Cinatopia in Vancouver. They have a 'living room' style theater that should hopefully be more comfortable for my long limbed spouse. The seats are bigger, recliner style and there is a ton more leg room. Poor Craig is never comfortable in a regular theater (part of the reason we never go to movies). Plus we can enjoy a drink while watching the movie and since it is 21 and over, we will avoid the comical but annoying 13 year old girls that will no doubt be out in droves to see 'New Moon,' the latest 'Twilight' series movie.

Here are a few pictures from last weekend, getting our Christmas tree. It was very fun. Katya likes to talk about how daddy carried the tree up the hill. Love to all!
