Hallmark Holiday


Valentine's Day: a day that is like every other day in the year except Hallmark, flower companies, and restaurants make a killing on this day. Us? We decided to go to brunch today instead of dinner just because 1. brunch is our favorite meal ever, and 2. we are old fogies and wanted to avoid the evening crowds.

I was unaware that we'd be purchasing gifts for each other on our SEVENTH V-day together but when I realized Nate was sneaking around behind my back to get me something, I had to think fast. This is what I came up with and yes, it was a hit:

And he bestowed upon me that padded-cup workout tank that I lusted over last week. Such a good listener, this husband of mine. I taught him well:)

The day begun with a fresh coat of white fluffy stuff:

And even though it was a typical winter gray day, I managed to snap a few shots of my favorite model:

It will never get old. I just love pictures of my dog, okay?

So off to brunch we went and OMG it was good. I mean pink mimosas are a fabulous start to any day, right?

And not to mention stuffed French toast: cream cheese and chocolate this time around. Divine.

After thoroughly stuffing our faces and consuming enough fluids to last all day Nate agreed to my request of a mini photo session outdoors. He must love me a lot, don't you think?

One thing I love about a new camera is that every little detail in the world is suddenly very apparent to me. Love the color on this tree, don't you?

I even handed over my baby for a few frames.

Austin Powers made an appearance.

Warning: if you let your husband take charge of photographic opportunities, this is what you'll receive. At least I was having a good butt day, I suppose.

Lady, how many pictures are you going to take?

Enough to make me happy, duh.

You know those quintessential sandy beach shots? Here's our version.

I'm sorry, I just had to do it.

This was much easier to get with our point and shoot. I get a little anxious about holding the SLR away from my body like this but I somehow managed.

And there you have it: a day like any other plus a little extra fun and a whole lotta pictures. I hope everyone enjoyed their Hallmark Holiday!
