Dinner in the lounge, listening to live Jazz music!
Well I hope everyone rang in the New Year safely! Here in the Allen household the festivities continue. After a wonderful Christmas day spent with 30 of our family, we had a little bit of relaxing time. It took me about a week to recover from Christmas day! Thank goodness Tom had the week off! Victor has now started back at school, Jonas and I have signed up for a mommy and me preschool class, and Tom has gone back to the grind!
This year Tom's company decided to move their holiday party to January. This works out well for us, as it is our anniversary month also! So we took advantage of the killer deal provided to employees and spent 2 blissful evenings at the Four Seasons Aviara. I LOVE this place!! I wish I could stay there ALL the time!! Too bad their everyday price is CRAZY! But for a weekend, we were spoiled. Fati and Heath and my mom and dad took turns watching the boys for us. 
View from our room: Batiquitos Lagoon and Ocean (too much fog to see the ocean in this pic)
When we arrived at the Four Seasons they opened our doors, grabbed our luggage and showed us to the check-in desk. I let them know we were celebrating our anniversary there. So they provided us with a room that had an ocean view!! They also had champagne sent to our room!! They treated us so great there!! The beds are wonderful, so soft and cushy. We slept in and enjoyed our views from our room. Saturday evening we attended the company party and I had a blast dancing the night away, while Tom had a blast drinking the night away. Hmmm, sounds just like our wedding night!! LOL
This is how you get your paper at the Four Seasons!
Our champagne!!
Well now we are back home, and I can't wait to be provided with an opportunity like this again! It was great to spend time with my husband and feel as if we were on a long date! I am trying to convince him that we need to renew our vows and have a reception at the Four Seasons. So far he is not going for it!! But I will continue to dream!! After all, next year we will celebrate 15 years of being together!!
Before the company party, on our balcony!
View of our cocktail hour, err I mean the company's cocktail hour!
Sunset!
Not sure that Tom remembers this last drink!
It's only been 6 years!! These years have given us 2 sweet little boys, 3 God-children, new views on life, and re-organization on priorities, among other things. I can't wait to look back on this sixth year in 19 years and think how new our marriage still was! If we only knew then what we know now!! Thank you God for blessing our marriage, may we continue to build a strong foundation. Here's to the rest of our lives!!
