Cozy evening.

Before the ice storm hit with all its fury, we met for dinner at Nana and Papa's house.

We feasted on taco soup and an amazing cake in recognition of my upcoming birthday.

Of course, everything was delicious! Kelly and Mike were even able to come over, so it was great to catch up with them.

Seriously tasty cake and ice cream! Thanks, Nana!

After dinner the temperature was continuing to drop and the freezing rain was picking up, so we got ourselves home. Brett started building a fire, but it wasn't until AFTER he'd toted all the logs in that we remembered that our fire tools are all in storage. D'OH! Fortunately, he found an old garden flagpole that made a decent poker.

Voila! A nice, warm fire to round out a cozy evening!
