Who says celebrating at home can't be entertaining! The band performed, we ate pizza, and enjoyed some cake. We did manage to make it out for a date later in the week, but it was really important for us to celebrate with the kids and make them a part of our celebration. We took the opportunity to discuss marriage with the kids. They knew that the day marked ten years since the day we were married, but they really didn't have any concept of what marriage really meant. Having never been to a wedding, when I asked, they were clueless and could only say, "I know you wear black and white". We explained that it was a day when two people stood before friends, family, and most importantly God and pledged to love and stay together forever.
After cake, my little prince charming, Jax, came bearing two dollars of his own money. When Rick insisted that he should keep his money, he replied, "I have one for mom, too." Of course,this completely melted my heart. He later returned with a home made card. After seeing the heap of praise he received, Delaney followed suit, with a card and gift of $2.
We didn't make it to Hawaii, as we had planned many years ago, but in truth, we have created our own little paradise at home. It was a perfect evening shared with the ones I love the most.
