Valentine's Day

I've never really been big on Valentine's Day, but we thought we should at least do something for Anda. We got her a candy, some hair clips, and three balloons. She decided that since there were three balloons and three of us, we each needed an assigned balloon, which we were allowed to part with only if we kept it close to us. I thought it was funny that when we all sat down to watch a movie that night, we had our balloons marking our spot on the ceiling.

I also put a heart in her hair.

The week before, we made a heart-shaped Valentine's Day treat (http://www.thenovicechefblog.com/2012/01/marbled-red-velvet-cheesecake-brownies/) which was delicious. Anda was a big helper--she loves to bake.

I haven't been updating much because there hasn't been a ton going on. Although in mid-January we did go stay at a Bed and Breakfast for a few days with Dan's sister and her family.

Anda really loved hanging out with her cousins all weekend, even if she definitely did not love ice skating.

She was willing to pull Dan around with her boots on, though, so there's that.

Other than that, we're kind of in fun activity hibernation. It's cold outside and lately I've mainly just been in countdown-to-baby mode, trying to get things ready with a toddler and a watermelon strapped to my stomach. 50 days left!
