I've been a complete slacker with this whole blog thing. For some reason the weeks leading up to Christmas are always super busy at work. Between all the craziness with both of our schedules, Craig and I found time to celebrate our first wedding anniversary! We started planning this weekend extravaganza when Craig was in Afghanistan. Due to Craig's military schedule we knew we wouldn't be able to take a big trip, but we wanted to do something fun and special to commemorate the event. We decided to spend our anniversary in Vail, CO for a weekend full of snowboarding and good food! And that's exactly what we did...we also splurged a little and decided to stay at the Four Seasons Vail. We had a great time and even had some fresh snow while we were on the mountain!

| Our welcome to the Four Seasons was pretty impressive- Champagne and chocolate covered strawberries in our room! |

 |
| I'm really impressed by fancy bathrooms |
 |
| Yes, that is an espresso maker |
 |
| Dinner at Flame, the restaurant on premise- It was pretty empty, but we didn't mind at all. The food was delicious! |
 |
| Elk corn dogs |
 |
| Even the dessert wished us a happy anniversary |
 |
| Old Forge pizza for lunch after a long day of snowboarding- originally from Scranton, PA! |

 |
| We thought we were special, but in reality Vail was celebrating its 50th Anniversary |
 |
| Dinner on Saturday was at Kelly Liken, a Top Chef contestant- she made it to the final four! They also wished us a happy anniversary :) |

| This is how we celebrated our actual anniversary on December 18th |
Our actual anniversary was on a Tuesday, which is why we celebrated the weekend before. On Tuesday, we had pizza for dinner and then I surprised Craig with a cake! It was the same flavors as our wedding cake (vanilla cake, cannoli filling and vanilla buttercream) and it was so good! Craig surprised me with a bouquet of red and white roses.
We had a fun-filled year with lots of adventures! Looking forward to the rest of our lives together :)
