One Quick Picture Year Review

I wanted to quickly recap the year. But with only one picture per month. Not easy.

January
Matt's Father, Charles with Elijah, Ally and Lauren. Charles came to drop Matt's sister, Karyn off at our house.


February
Lauren recovering from RSV and Pneumonia. Ally also got RSV and Croup. Ally had another bout with Croup last night. We had our celebration interrupted.


March
My shirtless daughter coloring her Easter eggs. This reminded me that Easter was in March this year. Crazy.

April
Lauren turned one and ate the frosting off her smash cake. Elijah turned six also.


May
Elijah's Spring Carnival. They had some way cool rides at his first school. We were talked into buying a lot of tickets. We are suckers.

June
Camp out in the back yard. Next year in the wilderness? No with Lauren. She's a beast.

July
Fourth of July was spent with my family. The next week we had Matt's family reunion.

August
We finally got our butt's in gear and hiked to Timp Cave. This I would do again next year.

September
A landmark. Matt and Elijah went on their very first Father and Sons campout. Elijah only had a small gang of boys willing to "teach" him not to bite them. Elijah hasn't bitten since.


October
Trick or treating in the mall and the neighborhood. My kids, literally, had more candy then they could handle this year.

November
Cousins! The Griffin's came to our house and the kiddos had fun. Ally and Alexis and playing with the Little Sprouts.

December
What do you do when your mommy is working too many hours in the mall? You spend your time playing in the mall. And on the newly completed Treehouse. What fun!

Good job picking just one photo for each month! What a fun year you had together as a family.

Great Idea...I wish I was organized enough to do that.
