Our 2013

I just love a recap post, don't you? Here is our year of 2013!

We rang in the New Year with this party animal. She made it until 8pm.

 We went on two road trips in January- Chattanooga & Tampa

...Which prompted me to write this post about infant travel!

We hosted our first game night and had the honor of being a part of the sweetest engagement!

P took swim lessons at the Y and I watched my baby grow up way too fast.

We enjoyed spring at the park and welcomed the warmer weather with open arms!

 I completed a Blogging Challenge in May and celebrated my first Mother's Day!

Our summer started off with a bang as we celebrated Peyton's First Birthday and welcomed Banyan Golden's first litter of pups!

Ben enjoyed celebrating his second Father's Day, we caught Peyton's first steps and enjoyed watching the puppies grow!

 

We spent some time on a few home projects, but mostly spent time at the POOL!

Another trip to Chattanooga to celebrate Mac & Paisley's second birthday. We love those kids!

 

We welcomed fall with fun at the fair, Food Truck Alley, and a new blog design & name  :)

Ben and I escaped for a week in paradise. Leaving Peyton was hard to do but so worth it. What a great week to re-energize!

We continue to cheer on our VOLS, hoping that they will turn around next year. :) Ben and I even made the trip to Tuscaloosa to see them lose fight to the end!

We loved dressing up for Halloween this year! 

As the holidays approached, we welcomed several new family members & friends!

Our nieces, Lily & Lacy

Our new friend, Wells

Our nephew, Xavier

The holidays arrived and we enjoyed this special time with family and friends.

As we prepared for Christmas, I participated in a fun linkup and got busy Christmas shopping. Peyton enjoyed tolerated a visit with Santa.

 

We celebrated a most wonderful Christmas with family.

We ended the year by celebrating Ben's birthday and ringing in the New Year at home with friends!

Dear friends- Here's wishing you much happiness in the Year 2014. I'm excited to see what it will bring for us! Be sure to stop by This Unfamiliar Road to catch up :)
