{instagram snapshot} anniversary coffee

Today is our anniversary and my hubby just brought this sweet latte in to me. He makes the best lattes and the prettiest. So delicious! Looks like it's going to be a fabulous day. xoxo

{instagram snapshot} this is what i woke up to

Hi Everyone! Here's a quick snapshot of the beautiful spring snow I woke up to this morning. Yesterday there was no snow in sight and I was enjoying the sunshine but last night we got hit. That's springtime in the mountains for you! The sun is shining and the snow is glistening. It looks so gorgeous outside right now!
































Today is our anniversary and my hubby is making his famous and my very favorite challa bread french toast. I don't think we'll be eating that out on the deck today!
































In light of all this now, I may have to rethink my shoe choice for our Anniversary dinner tonight! Have a lovely Sunday.
