Anniversary Fun

Thank you for all of your sweet anniversary messages yesterday! We had a great, low-key, evening together. We went out for a dinner…it was so nice not to have to cook! After dinner we watched some TV, walked the dog, and then went out for ice cream.
Yum. And yes, I had already changed into my comfy clothes. Just keepin’ it real!

 The husband loves his ice cream too.
The husband surprised me by having these personalized blocks made by the fabulous ladies at Embellished Living…..love them!

 And some personalized coasters. I’m a sucker for anything monogrammed so I was really excited!
For a special treat I made these red velvet cheesecake brownies. And oh my word. They are good!
