My Funny Valentine

Our little family had a "love"ly Valentine's Day!  I hope yours did too!  Millie Janalee and I started kicking the Heart Day off on Wednesday with a few hearts.  Every little girl loves heart sunglasses and hearts on her clothes!  Ha!  She was a good sport and showed me her love by having a fun-filled day full of laughs.  I love this sweet, funny girl!

Russ texted us on his way home asking to take his girls out for Valentine's a little early.  He was working last night, so we celebrated early.  In case you are wondering what a stay at home mom wears out to dinner for Valentine's Day, we have documentation.  Ha!  Hair in a ponytail and everything!  Oh well.  I had no desire to change...as long as Millie Janalee looked cute.  By the way, this is also the way my shopping trips are these days.  So long cute clothes for Mama.  It's all about her!  We enjoyed a delicious and fun dinner at Stix and sat at the hibachi grill.  Millie Janalee LOVES to watch the show...especially now that she sits in a high chair.  It is perfect for us!  Free entertainment while we eat.

Yesterday morning, I couldn't wait to get Millie Janalee dressed in her Valentine's Day attire and show her our Valentine surprise!  If you remember, Russ and I gave Millie Janalee a book, wipes, rice cereal, and a small toy for Christmas.  We knew she would get pa-lenty from everyone else, and she did.  But for some reason, I got a little excited about Valentine's and Easter coming up! 

Millie Janalee's first Valentine from Mama and Daddy

She was very excited about her Valentine!  All these pictures were taken before she even had her morning bottle.  One happy girl, I tell ya!  Always a morning person, and always a JOY to pick up from her crib!  I love how excited she was, and she couldn't wait to pull it all out!

Yay!  I love Valentine's Day!

All this is for ME???

Let me check this out.

 Russ woke up before both Millie Janalee and me.  He ran to Dunkin' Donuts to pick up some jelly-filled heart donuts.  He also made a stop by a second donut shop to pick up an eclair for me!  Yummo!  I had one of each, thank you very much!  Don't judge.

I woke up several times during the night for some reason, so during one of my wake ups I placed Russ's Valentine from Millie Janalee and me in the bathroom by the sink.  It actually worked out, because I had originally planned to have it there the night before so he could find it before work.  It turned out, he didn't go in to work until 5 that afternoon, so he stayed up later than I did.  Ha!  I still got it placed and ready before his secret trip to the donut shop.

The rest of our Valentine's Day was spent doing the normal things.  You know, I was trying to take advantage of every second Russ was there to do laundry, pack for myself and Millie Janalee, take a long hot shower, and catch up on blogging.  Mission accomplished!

Bottom line...we had a wonderful Valentine's Day!  And I think Millie Janalee enjoyed her first Heart Day too!  We sure love this girl!

My sweet, funny Valentine!
