Ken and Jen Plus 10

It's not the name of a new reality show.  And we don't have 10 children, at least not yet.  But yesterday we did celebrate our 10 year anniversary.

Knowing that it would be a particularly busy day, we celebrated the night before with a family picnic down by the water.  Ken picked up some special picnic treats and we took them down to a pretty grassy spot at the edge of our neighborhood.  We flew the kite and the kids ran around and played.  Hannah even snapped an anniversary photo for us.

The kids, of course, had a blast with the kite.  And even though it is still a bit chilly at night here, the weather is starting to get oh so pretty.  I'm beginning to remember why people actually like living up here.

All the kids took a turn with the kite... Oreo smiles and all.

And in case you're wondering what kind of anniversary celebrations includes a whole gaggle of little kids in tow.... ours do.

In light of the fact that we had no babysitting available this year, I don't think the kids minded joining us at all.

And we certainly didn't mind sharing the occasion with them.

While we were out there, Ken and I said our vows to each other while the kids giggled.  And then they asked if we were going to kiss.  So we did. 

I always want them to know that I love their daddy more than anything in the whole world.  

It's been a crazy and wonderful 10 years and I wouldn't trade a minute of it.
