Ah...the end of 2014 has come and the first day of 2015 is here! 2014 was a good year - everything in our life remained fairly status quo . No new changes in our lives or routines this year, no major highlights, but no losses either. Jobs - those are the same (love/hate relationship), money - that's the same too (we still don't have enough - ha!), no new cars, houses or babies to brag about. At the end of the day staying status quo is awesome and we wouldn't change it for the world!! Here is a review in pictures of the two precious gems who did everything BUT stay the same this year!
January 2014
The snow fell, it was cold and cloudy. That was about 27/31 days of the month. But we made do and survived the very bitterly cold winter.
February 2014
Valentine's Day with our little loves is always fun.
March 2014
Just a couple of weeks before the first day of spring and a good size snowstorm hit us! Riley got a snow day (and mommy did too).
April 2014
Easter fell on April 20th. We celebrated Easter and our 7th wedding anniversary.
May 2014
I LOVE May, not just because my birthday is in May but because I get to celebrate Mother's Day with my two babies. This year I got just what I wanted - a run a Beaver Lake and exploring with the kids after and a nice quiet day at home with my little family of 4. I also love May because it is almost summer, it's the official start of BBQ season and I love being able to hang out outside with kids!
June 2014
Riley had her 2nd dance recital. She performed perfectly! She also lost 2 teeth this month (on the same day - daddy's birthday!!)
July 2014
Riley learned to ride a 2 wheeler!!! In just one day she was riding around in the streets as though she had been riding most of her life.
August 2014
My first "baby" turned 6! She's seriously her own person. Such a little lady. Per Riley's request it was a butterfly themed birthday bash.
September 2014
Riley started 1st grade (and loves it still). Avery started in the 2-year-old class at daycare a few weeks before her 2nd birthday.
October 2014
Somehow in the blink of an eye, Avery turned 2. Doc McStuffins was in the house - as she had a Doc themed birthday party brunch. Halloween was so much fun, the kids went to Zoo Boo and both had Halloween parades at school. They made out like bandits trick-or-treating.
November 2014
Happy Thanksgiving - we had a lot to be grateful for.
December 2014
Mac came back!! We decorated for Christmas! Both girls got everything they wanted (and more) from Santa. It was a great year!!
Looking ahead into 2015 we're hoping for continued health and happiness. We're looking forward to Laurie and Matt's wedding and all the festivities that go with it. It will be a busy year that's for sure. Happy 2015!!!
