Photo-A-Day participa[tion] - Day 21

[a fave photo of you]

February 21, 2012

This is definitely one of my favorite photos of Brian, and I guess me too, since half my face is covered! Anyway, thought this one was appropriate for the Photo Challenge, since it just so happens that it's FAT TUESDAY!!!

Happy Mardi Gras, y'all!
