Love Day

We had a great Valentine's Day and I hope y'all did too. Since I already talked about Valentine's Day in general in my last post, I just wanted to share what we did on the special day. 

Mr. Hunt left Jane and I surprises on the kitchen table for when we woke up. I got a box of chocolates and Jane got this big pink teddy that she LOVES!!

He also got her a card with finger puppets that she loved as well. She "read" the card all day but then I took it away before she ripped it for safe keeping so she can always have the Valentine's Day card from her Daddy

I'm obsessed with these jammies and every time I put them on her I think to myself how sad its going to be when she outgrows them. I'm not sure if its the hood, the cute pocket in the front, or the design. Its just cute! So naturally I take a million pictures.

She wanted the hood back on. haha!

Never can get enough of the feet.

Look at theses curls! Or just waves.

After I got up the courage to take off her cute jammies, I dressed her in her Valentine's Day outfit.

Look at this face! Oh my!

The gold headband didn't last long....naturally.

Those eyes!

Now onto the Valentine's goodies!

I set the table up with everything!

I got this cute banner at target. I love it, and it was pretty cheap!

Jane finger painted her Daddy this picture. It turned out perfect, but she did eat some paint. Don't worry, it was non toxic and we ended the painting session right then and there.

Jane got a cute outfit form her Mimi and Pawpaw

She got three board books about love of course! The candle is just decoration. I had two that I burned throughout the day to make it smell fruity in the house for Love Day.

My grandpa sent us this sock monkey. I once made a sock monkey out of two socks, but this one looks much better. Plus its a ballerina with blonde hair.

I made these yummy cookies that I pinned on my pinterest. They are strawberry cookies with strawberry icing. Despite what they look like they are really really good. Mr. Hunt laughed at me when I showed him what they were "supposed" to look like, and what they turned out to really look like.

NAILED IT!!!

Here is the box of chocolate Mr. Hunt gave me....yum!

I got Mr. Hunt these hot sauces. If you know anything about him, you know he loves anything and everything spicy!

This is Jane's teddy from her daddy and a heart shape bowl full of Reese candy!

That's the card Mr. Hunt got me as well as anther book for Jane. I also made Mr. Hunt chocolate covered Jalapenos and pretzels.

I had never made those before and I had no idea how they would turn out. I took all the seeds out so that they wouldn't be so spicy. Turns out they weren't that good. They weren't awful either.  I won't be making them again though. Its the thought that counts.

Here are the finger puppets that came on Jane's card. She liked them, but they got ripped in half pretty quickly.

For dinner we went to our favorite Mexican restaurant. Are you surprised? I'm not. It was a nice day/evening and it was fun celebrating Jane's second Valentine's Day.

Love,
Jennifer

Happy Valentines Day!

We are known to not do much on Valentine's Day, but I wanted to come to say Happy Valentines Day to everyone!

Maybe I should share the one Valentines Day experience that sticks out in my mind every time I think of Valentines Day.

This was a few years back when Mr. Hunt and I were dating. We decided just to go to this Chinese place that we liked for dinner and then try to get home in time to watch our favorite show at the time, Lost. Mind you, this was before we had DVR so it was imperative that we got back so that we didn't miss anything. We didn't plan ahead so we didn't have any reservations at a nice place or anything, this was just a Chinese restaurant that we liked right by our house.

There wasn't a wait and we st right down at our table. Mr. Hunt ordered a beer and I ordered a wine. When they gave me my wine, I was shocked! It was in a beer mug filled to the top. When I gave them a weird look, the waitress quickly realized she messed up and told me to hurry and drink some so that her manager didn't see how much she gave me for the price of one glass. It was quite funny. We ordered our food and while we were waiting, we were giggling about the wine thing and I was a little tipsy already since I had chugged some wine.

Next thing we knew, the waitress brought us our check. Yeah.....we still didn't even get our meals. She brought the check without us even eating. When we told her we still didn't get our food, she was so embarrassed. We kind of felt bad but at the same time we were in a rush. We told her never mind and we just paid for our drinks and left. I think the waitress was just a little overwhelmed because it was a lot busier than it was normally there and she just wasn't on her game. We probably would have stayed if it wasn't for our show coming on and honestly I felt kind of bad for the waitress. Instead we quickly went to get a frozen pizza and we were home right before Lost came on. So now anytime I think about Valentines Day, I think of that.

Even though we don't celebrate Valentines Day really big around here, I feel like since we have a kid now, its only appropriate to celebrate as many holidays as we can.

I made some Valentines Day cards for Jane to send to her family this year. This meant a photo shoot!

This is her same dress she wore on Christmas.

Love her giggles

Thanks Great Aunt Lisa for this precious dress. It fits perfect!

Of course she had to stand up.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

And here is the end product!

Happy Valentines Day everyone. Ill be back with what we did today to celebrate a little.

Love,
Jennifer

A Little Bit of Everything

Not too much has been going on around here. Honestly, its been so cold here (and by so cold, I mean like 30) that we haven't really gone out of the house at all lately.

Jane has started saying a new word in the last few days and no, it still isn't "mama." She has started saying "baby" except she says "day dee." I know its baby though because anytime a baby comes on tv she says it, or if there is a baby in one of her books she says it, or if we show her a picture of when she was really little she says it. Also, if I ask her to say it she will.

Mr. Hunt had a good birthday. I didn't get many pictures since I did a YouTube video of the entire thing. But I did get some candle blowing action. I made what he requested for dessert, coconut cream pie.

They are just so cute!

Jane really liked the pie.

So did the dogs. (they didn't get any, they just thought they would like it)

Jane is also into the climbing thing majorly lately. She climbs onto everything. She climbs on our kitchen chairs, our bed, her rocking chair, on top of boxes, climbs up the dog crates, etc. Its actually very scary because she doesn't know about falling off things. I thought it was scary when she started climbing onto the low ottoman. Now, I'm so paranoid.

Our bed is super high up, so its a long fall down.

and she thinks standing on the chair is fun! The chair that rocks by the way.

So to say my hands are full lately is an understatement. I am more and more tired these days and Ive found that I may need to start having an afternoon cup of coffee to get me through the day. That's never been something I've done so I'm this must be serious.

Mr. Hunt's sister Katie is coming tomorrow for the weekend and we are super excited. Its actually snowing in Charlotte right now and its the most snow they've had in years (if not ever) so we are crossing our fingers that she gets here. Its supposed to be sunny and 75 degrees all weekend which is a nice change for us and her too.

Love y'all!
Jennifer

New Little Baby

On Tuesday, January 21st, my best friend had her second baby! Another precious sweet baby girl named Kendall Margaret! Here is baby Kendall with her big sis Cameron! I just love this picture!

I'm so happy for Brandy and Bev and the rest of their family. I can't wait to meet Kendall and squeeze her huge cheeks!

Does this give you as much baby fever as it does me?

Love,
Jennifer
