13 Of My Favorite Things in 2013

Hard to believe that another year has come and gone!
Thinking back over 2013, here are 13 of my favorite memories...

#1 - We got a little bit of snow, not a lot, but enough to excite Caleb.

#2 - Ella let me paint her toenails for the first time and her hair was finally long enough for pigtails.

It is the little things, but things I had look forward to since having a girl!

#3 - Caleb's 4th Birthday and his Superhero Party.

Even though the weather was terrible, he had a great time with his cousins and close friends and that was all that mattered!

#4 - Owen William Raynor was born

I had another sweet nephew (the first on the Raynor side).

I have loved watching my brother be a daddy. He is such a good one!

#5 - Beach Trips with both sides of our families.

We went with the Raynors in June and the Taylors in August.

We loved spending time with our families. Kids had a blast with their cousins and grandparents.

#7 - Lazy Days of Summer
We always have fun at the lake - from riding the boat, jet ski and sail boat to skiing and tubing and swimming, to eating ice cream and just hanging out.
We also got to experience Snowbird for the first time - what a great week! We had a blast with all the activities they had and while we were physically exhausted after the week, it was very spiritually freshing for me!
Not to mention all the fun playdates we had with friends throughout the summer!

#8 - Ella turned 2! She had fun at her tutu and ties birthday party.

All of our family and close friends were able to attend so that made it extra special!

#9 - The kids started school in September. It was Ella's first time in school and she adjusted so well, so quickly. Caleb was an old pro (this being his 3rd year) but this year especially he has learned so much!
