Miller Time: Anniversary Trip & Trick or Treat

Jay and I our celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary on October 24. In some ways 5 years has flown, in other ways it seems like so much longer! Watching our wedding DVD, I think we both look about 17...how have we gotten so much older in only 5 years?!

October 24, 2009

We took a kid-free trip to Door County for our anniversary weekend. We got engaged in Egg Harbor, so it seemed appropriate! The trip where we got engaged was my first ever trip to Door County, and this was only my second...definitely need to make it a more regular occurrence. I love it up there! There's so much to see and it's so pretty. It may not have been prime-time for fall leaves, but it was still gorgeous - and the weather was perfect! Couldn't have asked for a nicer weekend.

We hit three wineries and stocked up on wine. We had delicious meals - awesome breakfasts, a fish fry, steak dinner, and some odd but very tasty nachos (who knew chili and mashed potatoes would taste good on chips?). We saw some beautiful scenery. And we got to SLEEP! Definitely had forgotten what it was like to eat hot meals, sleep all night, and have adult conversations all day. But we really missed the kids and talked about them a lot!

After picking up the kids from Grandma & Grandpa's and heading home, it was time to trick or treat! The kids were so adorable as Buzz and Jessie from Toy Story. We didn't have to ring many doorbells - people in our neighborhood apparently sit out on their lawns passing out their candy. And the ones who aren't home or aren't participating mostly had signs on their doors that said "No Candy". That made it easier to get to more houses that actually did have treats!

We also headed over (with the kids in costume) to see Grandpa Jeff/Grandma Nancy and Great Grandma Tea/Great Grandpa Joe. And then we had dinner with Gramma and Papa. I'm glad the kids cooperated so everyone could see them all dressed up!

That's about all that's new with us. Somehow it's already November??? We are keeping busy with work, stuff around the house, and the kids. Chasing these two around is a tiring job! Ellison and Jay were up north for one night over the weekend, I took her to a zoo class today (Cows!), both kids have flu shots coming up, and it's only a few weeks until Thanksgiving! Busy busy busy...
