Anniversary Weekend

As I posted previously, Friday was our 5th wedding anniversary. It actually didn't start out as a very good day. :) Daniel was up almost all night the night before at work and I woke up to a heater that wasn't keeping up with the very frigid temperatures outside. I called Daniel and he said he would come home and check on it before taking Kenna to stay with his parent for the weekend. On his way home, the car blew some sort of manifold gasket cover (I know nothing about cars) and start spewing oil everywhere. Daniel had to call a tow truck to come get the car and his friend Brad came to pick him up (I was already at work). They came to the house to check on the heater - which had actually caught up and had the house a little warmer - and pick up Kenna's clothes for the weekend. Brad brought him by my work to pick up the jeep and then Daniel took Miss K for her weekend with Grandpa, Grandma, Mercy, and the boys. Once Daniel got home from his parents, he was able to rest a little before our previously planned 'date night.' Whew....what a morning!

We started the evening at a new steak restaurant in Allen called Bailey's Prime Plus. The food was really good and the service was excellent. When Daniel had called to make reservations, they asked if it was a special occasion....this is what we found when they took us to our table. They also brought two glasses of champagne to go with dessert. :) After dinner we went to listen to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. That is always one of my favorite things to do - and since it is where Daniel proposed, it has lots of special meaning for us! The day ended much better than it began! :)

Saturday night we headed over to Cowboys Stadium to watch the Dallas Cowboys take on the Philadelphia Eagles in the first playoff game of the year. (This was my anniversary present to Daniel).
What a crazy place!! Everyone seemed very excited to be there!

Our seats were actually pretty good! They were on the fifty yard line, on the front row of the section - even if we were pretty high up!

We had so much fun spending the weekend together and I know that Kenna loved being with her grandparents.

What a great weekend!
