Our 2015 was full of fun, adventure, & lots of beautiful memories.
Here is a recap below:
January
January kicked off with us gaining a new sister in law when Kevin proposed to Alyssa!
We embarked on our first Kleiner family trip to Disneyworld,
and also enjoyed Daytona Beach!
February
I celebrated my birthday,
and this little love celebrated Valentines Day!
March
March was the month of all things Whole30 and many meals like this,
and we celebrated with donuts when it was done!
We also started our springtime walks (even if snow was on the ground!)
April
April brought Easter and this girl's first egg hunt,
and our sweet nephew Deacon was born!
May
We celebrated Mothers Day,
enjoyed the first of many visits to the zoo with our pass,
as well as Valleyfair trips with our pass!
And we ended the month with our second annual Memorial Day trip to Chicago!
June
June kicked off with a bang at the Rolling Stones concert,
and we celebrated four years of marriage!
Ethan started at Deluxe Corporation as an IT Web Analyst,
and we ended the month with a long weekend in Duluth.
July
Emersyn loved her first Fourth of July parade,
and we bought a minivan, officially committing us to the parent life! ;)
We also enjoyed seeing Needtobreathe & Drew Holcomb (our faves!) in concert!
August
We celebrated my Dad's big 60th birthday,
and ended many days with ice cream dates.
My college roomies reunited,
And we enjoyed the first (of MANY!) trips to the MN State Fair!
September
Our sweet Emersyn turned 2 on September 4th,
and high school friends reunited!
We celebrated that fall had arrived with a porch full of pumpkins,
Emersyn started school,
and we rocked it out at Taylor Swift!
October
October was full of women's conferences, including my first night away from Emersyn & Ethan...
and she welcomed me home with kisses ;)
We visited pumpkin patches,
celebrated my sissy's 21st birthday,
and finished out the month in Destin, FL with my mom, stepdad, and siblings!
November
November was wedding month for my dear brother & sis-in-law,
and we hosted Thanksgiving brunch with my high school friends!
And we definitely downed several cups of cocoa in our Christmas jammies ;)
December
I became apart of the Twin Cities Mom's Blog Event Team,
and Emersyn had her first Christmas concert (which clearly went well),
We saw Santa and Emersyn was not a fan at first,
and Ethan graduated from college!
We went to Bentleyville in Duluth for Christmas Eve Eve (and suddenly Santa was way better!),
and we had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by family.
And we topped off New Years Eve with a kiss! ;)
Looking back on 2015,
I realize how much Emersyn grew,
how many vacations we took,
how many concerts we saw,
and how busy we were!
This year,
we hope to slow down,
squeeze in an anniversary vacation to celebrate five years of marriage,
have a monthly family fun day,
and to figure out how to stop our daughter from growing up ;)
We are so thankful for the wonderful year we shared with friends and family
and look forward to seeing what the Lord has in store for us in 2016!
With love,
The Kleiner Family
