Good bye 2013, Hello to 2014

We have had an AMAZING year as a family of five.

Some of our best highlights of 2013:

*Started the year off with a brand new baby in January
*Zeke taking charge and just giving our precious little baby her name (so cute, good thing I liked it since he filled out the birth certificate already)
*Lots of fun filled visits to family
*Zeke received an AMAZING job opportunity
*Many great family outing
*AWESOME camping trip memories
*Summer campouts in the backyard
*Many fires and s'more  nights
*Great date nights
*Koriann riding her horses solo (and almost getting bucked off!!)
*More remodeling on our house (it's a love/hate relationship with our house)
*Koriann finishing/starting her last year of an AMAZING pre-school (really bittersweet)
*Great family trip to Park City
*Spending the holidays with family

I am really sad to see the year come to a close, it just means my kids are growing up.  I love to see them learn and grow, but please just stay little. 
Our family has been so blessed beyond measure this year it really is more than I could ask for.  We have had excellent health, food to eat, roof over our head, and Christ leading our way.  What more is there in life.

Little goofs

Apparently Aspen has missed the memo that Halloween is over.  But it never fails that at least once a day she ends up wearing this costume.  She does look pretty cute though.

 

I am so beyond grateful that 99.9999% of the time ALL the girls play so well together.  I LOVE catching them in the act.  The love they have for one another is so pure and Christ like.  I truly hope and pray that they always remain best friends.  Zeke and I are blessed with these 3 angels that grace us with their presence.

 

More Christmas

We has an AWESOME Christmas this year!!  Our family celebrated a day early mainly because of Zeke's work schedule, but also we are just trying to keep the holiday and Christ's birth separate.  We had a very quite and laid back day opening presents.  Koriann was just beyond EXCITED!!  She just keep say "oh wow and I didn't even ask for this!"  Santa came threw and made all the girlies day.  Zeke and I was also very spoiled.  Aspen was so funny to watch because she became fixated on a gift and really could care less about the others.  She was very excited about her green tractor blanket and Quinns' little white puppy that sings.

Quinn just loved the paper and boxes the most, but was just happy to be right in the middle of everything.

We have been so blessed this year.

 

Christmas 2013

Christmas Jammies

We opened the traditional jammies, treats and movie box on Christmas Eve.  The girls were thrilled as ever and wanted to keep opening presents.  Our girls have a really hard time sitting through a movie, so by the end it usually turns into wrestling and rough housing.

 

Pinkie and Greenie

Koriann has been begging for fish for EVER!!  So Santa heard and answered the wish.  The girls are in LOVE!!
