Kings of Leon Concert
Even though I was pregnant and couldn't drink I had SO MUCH FUN at this concert. Will, Paige, Eric and I are all big fans (Will and I probably lean a little further into the super fan category). They played so many songs we love, Will got so drunk he missed the end of the concert (he passed out in the bed of his truck :) and we got to meet NACHO!!!!
Eric and I were both off on a Friday so we took our girl out for a ferry ride to Illinois, lunch on the water and apple picking at Eckerts. It was a cold day but oh so fun! Elle absolutely loved it and I think this will be a fall tradition our family does every year.
Gymnastics
Elle started taking gymnastics in January and those first few months were the best. She was so teeny tiny, by far the youngest in her class. Every Saturday we would go to gymnastics in the morning and then out for breakfast. We are hoping to sign her up at a different gymnastics studio this winter to get her back in some classes.
Charles Edwin
This sweet little bear came into our lives in February. It has been such a fun year watching him grow and seeing his little personality shine through.
Vacation
Family vacation was memorable this year. We had such a fun time and laughed so much and killed so many mosquito's!!! The boat ride with the mosquito madness has to be a highlight. Even though I'm itchy thinking about it.
6th Anniversary
Eric and I headed to Chicago for our 6th anniversary and had such a fun time! Even though it is oh so very hard for me to go anywhere without my Roni it was so nice to have a weekend away with him.
Polar Express
I have a whole post coming on this. It was definitely a highlight of our year. The kiddos loved it and it was such a fun, magical night.
Baby Brother!
Finding out I was pregnant was both exciting and scary, finding out we are having a little boy was also exciting and scary. Any fears are fading fast though, I'm just plain excited to meet this little boy. I'm picturing a mini Eric.
Splash Pad
Eric and Elle discovered this little splash pad on one of their fun daddy/daughter days and Elle quickly became a regular. I already have big plans for lots of summer days to be spent here. Once I'm part time I think it will be a fun little Monday or Tuesday activity.
Purina Farms
We had a fun little Saturday at Purina Farms and as much fun as the dog show was the real star was buddy the horse. Elle fell hard for Buddy that day and since then every horse she encounters is named Buddy.
Meeting Truman
A post is coming on this as well, Elle got to meet Truman Tiger on her birthday. I don't think the girl has ever been so excited! We stayed for about an hour so she could play with him. They played catch, she talked to him, tickled him. It was Elle's version of meeting an A-list celebrity.
The Crazy Egghunt
This egghunt was insane. I think it was over about 30 seconds after it started but it made Mary and I laugh. I don't think we will be participating in 2015.
911
Calling 911 in the middle of the night because I thought our house was on fire and filled with gas when in reality a sippy cup was burnt in the dishwasher. Neither Eric, the police officers, firefighters or EMT's thought it was as funny of a mistake as I did that night. Can't a girl mix up the smell of burnt plastic and gas without being judged?!
Watching Elle Grow
It is so hard to believe Elle started the year looking like this...
and now my big girl looks like this. It has been such a fun year watching her grow, learn new things, form sentences, have opinions. 2014 was a really great year and I'm excited to see what 2015 holds for our family.
