One Year Celebration Part 2

We drove home from the beach on our actual anniversary so we decided to have a little celebration at home that night too. It saved us from having to pack frozen wedding cupcakes and cards! :)

Anniversary flowers and cards

For gifts, we decided to buy a lens, tripod, and bag for our camera. The lens was the big present and we're so glad we got it - so much more zooming power now! 

Our celebratory dinner prior included a tomato, mozzarella, and basil salad with steak. The tomato was a huge heirloom from our garden and it was tasty!

We also did the traditional eat the old wedding (cup) cake thing and celebrated with a bottle of prosecco. That has been our tradition for a long time. We've had a bottle for every special occasion since I can remember and we keep the corks, labeling them as we go. Amazingly, the cupcakes from Dewey's Bakery in Winston Salem, NC were really good - they lost some of the flavor over the year in the freezer but they still tasted great. I wish I would have known b/c we had so many leftover that we could have a freezer full!!
