This year has been one of the most amazing years of my life. I have had so many new experiences, for which, I am extremely thankful. Two of my biggest highlights, though, is when my family and I went to Disneyland with my Grandparents, and when I went to San Diego, CA with my parents, Grandma K., and Aunt Cindy. This was the very first year that I've ever been to California, and now I'm convinced...it's my favorite place to take a vacation in the world. I'm %100 serious about that too. :)
The shooting day we had recently was probably one of my highlights. Just a "little" one. :)
Going on a date with my Daddy, is always a huge highlight.
Thanksgiving was a-m-a-z-i-n-g! I am so thankful that we were able to have our cousins, and Grandparents come to spend it with us!
I absolutely love going to Church every Sunday, and giving the kiddos either skittles, or gummy bears. Children are such a blessing!
I absolutely LOVED this last dance we had for "Heritage weekend." Mainly because it was the first one my cousins have ever gone to.
The "end of the summer" dance the VanGelders hosted was also super fun. For some reason, Summer dances are such a huge event in my mind. I guess it's the dancing on the grass in bare feet. :) -love it!
(P.S. this was a photo of me and my cousins before I headed out to the dance.)
Going to the Tosti's beach house with my Cousins, Grandma Koch, and Aunt Cindy was one of the most amazing vacations I've ever had. (and I've had quite a few.) We played volleyball almost all day long. *sigh*
Cousins. <3 We were all SO tan! ......I can't wait 'till summer.
Going to our annual Church beach camp this year was also VERY fun! I just LOVE the beach. There is just something about it that captures my heart.
