Kisses.

These are some of my favorite pictures of Brian and Elna that we took after our date last night.  She is holding her balloon and just loving on Brian in the cutest way!

This may be my favorite picture of Brian and Elna.  Ever.  I love the looks on both of their faces.

They are very serious about their kisses.  I’m not sure who she learned her kissing moves from, but apparently she thinks there needs to be a little tongue involved…

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:

We love this thing she is doing with her tongue—she has been doing it for a few weeks now and it is cute!
