1. Obviously having my daughter. I can't believe she is already almost a year.
2. Being my age, I know I am very lucky/blessed/grateful (etc) to have 3 grandparents still living. I was so excited that Kinley got to meet all of her living Great Grandparents this year. Unfortunately, we lost my PawPaw in early February so he was unable to "officially" meet Kinley. We did go to visit him and I know that he got to see her :)
3. It was very important to Michael and I to have Kinley Christened. It was very special for us to have our minister who married us do it in the church where I was raised in Indianapolis.
4. Kinley's First Christmas and Snow
5. Kinley meeting many of her extended family members is definitely next on my list. Living in Houston, most of my family is pretty scattered across the US but we were fortunate enough to have Kinley meet so many of them this first year. She is definitely loved :)
6. I couldn't be more grateful for my parents and my in-laws. Kinley is definitely lucky to have 4 amazing grandparents who couldn't love her more. I was raised with some pretty amazing grandparents and had 4 up until this year who mean the world to me. I know that one day she will know and understand how much they mean to her.
7. On top of 4 amazing grandparents - I am grateful for Kinley to have 2 wonderful aunts who I am sure she will one day call to complain about me to and also 2 wonderful uncles.
As we walk away from 2012 - Michael and I couldn't be more grateful for amazing friends, family, health, and of course our daughter. This has been an amazing year for our family. We have definitely had ups and downs but we can't wait to see what is ahead in 2013.
