Happy New Year!

Whew! 2013 was an amazing year! It had its ups and downs, like every year, but compared to other years, 2013 was really good. No death or natural disaster, thank goodness;) There are a few things I specifically want to remember.

 13. Being blessed enough to adopt 12 new members into our doll family! I'm so grateful!

 12. Getting way better at violin, thanks to a new and incredible teacher;)

 11. Moving up to the advanced class in ballet (pointe shoes in 2014!:D)

 10. Inproving in my photography (and dropping my camera into a river after this picture was taken!>D I got a new one for my birthday thanks to Aunt Jenny!)

 9. Spending 4 days in Washington D.C. with my family (and losing my brother at the Smithsonian, so we had to call security, thankfully we found him:))

 8. When the reptile guy came to my brother's birthday party. he brought a live monkey into our house! It was so cool and adorable! He even tried to eat one of my brother's presents!

 7. Playing the Doctor and a student in Schoolhouse Rock the Musical! It was so much fun! (Nina the Shark came to see it)

 6. Spending a week in the summer at sleepaway campo with my 5 closest friends! In the middle of the night when we were camping outside, the fire alarm went off! We had to hike downhill to the main field in the middle of the night in the pitch black with 3 flashlights between 9 people! It ended up not being the camp alarm, but the alarm from a nearby firehall!:( Hey, at least we got free chocolate;)

 5.Having a sleep-over with my friends by the lake and going to the water park!

 4.Seeing real-life MANATEES!

 3. Having an AG themed birthday party with my friends!

2. Going to Disney World with my family! It was soooooo cool and solo much fun!

And #1…

Spending time with my incredibly amazing family! We shared laughs, we shared tears, and I couldn't imagine spending 2013 with any other family;)
