Valentines.

Elna and I woke up Valentine’s Day morning to some fun surprises:

Elna was pretty pleased with her balloon from Daddy.  This picture is from when she first discovered her balloon.

Sometimes I just can’t get enough of her faces:

She then crawled around with it for quite a while (with her tongue sticking out—a pretty cute phase—teething, I’m sure)

And some fun prizes for me too—I love tulips!

One of the best gifts Brian gave me was coming home at 5:00!  We went right over to Olive Garden, knowing it could be a long wait.  It was longer than we thought it would be—50-55 minutes!  Luckily, Daren and Heather were also there (what are the chances?!) and were nice enough to let us join their party.  They had been there for a while and only had 10 minutes left.  So nice!  We love hanging out with them, so it was a great night!

Elna did pretty well, but it sure is crazy to eat out with a baby.  She was trying to get into everything and eat everything.

When we got home we ate a yummy dessert I had made—a raw raspberry cheesecake.  It was delicious!

Elna’s balloon was a great gift—one that keeps on giving—even today she is loving it:

  2. I love Elna's balloon-love faces, and also her tongue-sticking out faces. She seems like she's in such a fun stage right now. Also, now I really feel like I need that raspberry cheesecake!

  3. Cute, cute! i love those kisses in the other post. It's a whole mouth (plus tongue) affair, isn't it? : ) Glad you had a fantastic V-day, complete with tulips.
