The first three years, we didn't have kids yet. Year four, we left Evelyn with a friend and stayed in a hotel here locally for the night. Year five, my sister watched her while we went to Montreal together for the weekend. This year, even a long dinner at an expensive restaurant alone isn't all that practical. We are going to sneak away for a short, early dinner, but we didn't want that to be the extent of our celebrating, so this morning we all got dressed up and went to brunch at Norma's together as a family. It was sort of fun. Hyrum was a doll baby the whole time and Evelyn loved her pancakes, so even the adults came away relatively unscathed. Maybe the anniversary family breakfast will have to become a tradition for those years we don't go away together.
Burping, a lovely family-friendly past-time

On our tenth anniversary, we couldn't get care for Mark on the same night as a babysitter, so we ended up taking our other 3 kids with us on our date. Eventually, in about 9 years for you, it gets to where you can leave the kids with each other.
Happy anniversary. We are glad you are having a good celebration.
Happy anniversary! I like the brunch idea. Our anniversary always seems pretty anticlimactic (but thanks again for watching Will last year). Maybe we should turn our 6th into a family celebration too.
