On May 19th my husband and I celebrated our 1st year
wedding anniversary. To celebrate we did a number of things. We went out to some antique and vintage shops in the city of Orange, CA. He bought me a lovely red bakelite bracelet and we also got a much needed vintage record player stand! My husband was very kind and also gave me Mad Men Season 4 ( I was missing that one)! I bought him a bowling shirt and a Johnny Cash shirt and paid for the record player stand as my gift to him. Later that night we got a little dressed up for cocktails and dinner at the fabulous Dal Rae!
me ready to celebrate!
If you haven't been to the Dal Rae yet, I suggest you go! It houses some of the most delicious steaks and the outside of the restaurant is very mid century. Delicious food, very strong drinks and a gorgeous atmosphere!

We had a reservation but got there early just to have some cocktails. I had a mai tai and it was super strong but delicious! Dinner was amazingly good and I was happy that we actually got to sit in one of the booths!

After dinner we headed on home to enjoy some champagne and dessert! I made us a lemon cake
with butter cream frosting. I had these sweet retro Barbie cake toppers that I did not end up using for our wedding but had decided to use for our anniversary. I thought it would be a sweet tradition to bake us a cake every year and to use these cake toppers.
My mom had bought them for many moons ago and I had them in my hope chest and really wanted to use them for my Anniversary cake. I had also did a little digging at the thrift shop and found some vintage champagne glasses for us to use. The cake cutter was given to me (along with a cake plate) by my mom. The heart shaped HAPPY ANNIVERSARY box was a thoughtful gift from my cousin.
All in all it was a sweet way to celebrate!
The next day we both had off of work and so we spent it at Disneyland.
