The 14th Papa Bear and I celebrated our FIVE year anniversary!

The gifts were sweet and simple.

I was gifted with the second book of the Twilight series. Can't wait to read it...again.
Along with the book came some Reeses candy, my favorite,
and
a mushy card! It was sweet.

Papa Bear was gifted with a wooden bowl (wood is the traditional anniversary gift for five years!) to hold all the 'pocket goodies' he collects during the day.
Sounds silly but he loved it.

Along with his awesome wood bowl he was surprised with a made-from-scratch red velvet cake!
Yep, I made it! From scratch! (just had to repeat that!)
