Anniversary fun

Aaron and I got married on December 1st, 2004 and we had our party in the summer of 2005 for family and friends.   We have always considered the December 1st wedding the offical one since it is the date on our marriage certificate.  This year we are celebrating our 8th. anniversary.  We usually just go out to dinner, but this year we decided to get a hotel in downtown and enjoyed some extra sleep!

We had dinner reservations at 7 PM at the Brasserie by Niche.   It is a french restaurant at the Central West End.   Aaron loves french culture since we have been to Montreal.   He is actually taking french lessons next month!  We hope to make it to Paris someday, but for now, we will just enjoy it here.  The atmosphere was very French, very cozy and super cute.  I ordered an endive salad, steak frites, a Parisien drink and for desert crème buleet.  Aaron had a frisee salad with poached egg and lardon, causoulet (he was very excited they had it that night!), wine and for desert a floating island.

After dinner we stopped by at my friend Masina's Christmas party for a little bit and we headed to the hotel.  We stayed the Westin downtown, literally across the street from the stadium.  Awesome hotel, very modern inside and they had great breakfast!  Tin Tin!
