Valentines 2014

For Valentine's, we helped Jennkia make a finger paint picture for her grandparents.  I saw the idea on Pinterest and they turned out really cute! Jennika lost interest after a little while, so we had to hurry through it a little bit. But, she did really good with it! Only tried to eat the paint once. :)

For Valentine's weekend, I thought we would just celebrate at home and do something fun, but Dane decided last minute that he wanted to take us to Las Vegas! He got us a room at THEHotel at Mandalay Bay. It was probably the nicest hotel rooms we've stayed in. It had a living room and a separate bedroom. That was a nice surprise... we didn't have to share a room with Jennika. Usually when we go to hotels with her we all have to go to bed at the same time and be SUPER QUIET since we're sharing a room. But not this time! The room even had 1.5 bathrooms! You know, for all our guests. ;) Pretty crazy!

We went to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen and walked around the Town Center outdoor mall for a little bit. When we were done there we went back to the hotel. We took the long walk down to where the Shark Reef Aquarium was at and decided to check it out! It was fun to walk through and see Jennika get so excited about everything. She loved running around from one tank to the next. We all had a good time there.

The next morning we woke up and went to breakfast with Drew and Clarissa and the kiddos at the Santa Fe Station. Their breakfast buffet is seriously the best! And, if we would have remembered our card to get it, it would have only been $5 each! But we paid $7, which is still worth it for all the awesome food. The only bad part was that it was so crowded! We waited in line forever to get in and then the lines to get food were way long too!So that was kind of a bummer, but we still all got PLENTY to eat.

Then we all went to the Premium Outlet Stores and walked around for a while and shopped. It was way busy there also, but I loved all the stores they had! We're definitely going back... but maybe next time on a weekday. We found Jennika this way cute dress for church for $3 at OshKosh and Dane got a new pair of pants.

Jennika was getting restless in her stroller and only wanted to run away so we wrapped up our trip to the mall and headed home. Awesome baby girl slept the whole way home! She's the best. We had a lot of fun getting away for the weekend and seeing Drew and Clarissa! It was a fun trip!
