I'll go ahead and admit it. I used to hate Valentine's Day. Now that I'm a wife and mother of a little girl - I am kind of obsessed.
Hearts? Pink and Red? I love it all!
Ellie's first Valentine's Day consisted of us getting up and putting on our VDay outfits. A monkey 1st Valentine's outfit for Elle and a red sweater and pink shoes for mommy. Casey came home for lunch and surprised me with Saltgrass! Because of being pregnant I had not been able to eat a medium rare steak in 10 months so needless to say I was SUPER excited. It was so nice to have Casey home for lunch because he doesn't really get to see how fun Ellie can be during the middle of the day. We had lunch and before Casey left he asked a super strange question: "How would you and Eleanor like to have a matching outfit for Valentine's?". This pretty much blew my mind and I started playing a movie in my head where every outfit I owned, Ellie had a smaller one (similar to the scene on the movie Big Daddy when they come out of Brooks Brothers with matching suits. Remember that?). I am SO excited about this possibility.
After C leaves Ellie and I ventured up to the mall and then back home for a short Valentine's day photo shoot. I am LOVING our Canon Rebel! Here are a few of Ellie's V-Day pics!
Yesterday our baby girl Eleanor Marie Page was baptized at Trinity Lutheran Church in Klein, Texas. She was mostly wonderful with the exception of a little fussiness. Casey's Grandma says that's just the devil leaving the church - haha. After her baptism we headed back to our house for a small reception and Ellie was showered with so many wonderful, sweet gifts. Who knew you got gifts for a baptism?!
