For the first time in a long while Scott and I had the whole day off together. We were going to bike to downtown, but it's already pretty cold outside so we took the bus.  I've really been a wuss this year when it comes winter biking.

I decided to keep one of our wedding tablecloths and use it for today. We have lots more if anyone wants one.  I didn't do any special decorating or place-cards. It reminded me of our wedding. Man, was that day fun ! I almost forgot to eat breakfast. I had you guessed it, cinnamon oatmeal. Wedn...
