What a year....what a year! Reviewing 2023!

 We had such a great 2023! There were some lows and there were some highs and then there were some really big highs! Lily is full on little lady with just growing like a weed. She is full force teenage mode even though this upcoming year she'll actually turn 13! Alexis is all the things turning into a young adult. She is trying and so looking forward to 'being grown and can drive!' All helped shape this little Law family and I look forward to what 2024 holds as it is going to be a BIG year!

Thankful!

January:

We kicked off the year with what we now know to be our last beach trip with this crew. Hopefully....one day...we will have another but it will never be the same since the Messers have moved to Texas!

 Tyler, Lily, Chris, Camille and I all did the Polar Plunge for the 1st time! It was a fun experience and a memory for sure!

February:

This was a big month!

Of course we celebrate the month of love BIG time!

June:

This was the 1st year of our annual beach trip without both Tyler and Alexis. Alexis had her normal cheer pattern of mandatory practices because of cheer camp that she had to attend and then this year, Tyler had to go home because of his Master's final comp papers that he had to complete! It was weird and sad to not have them both but Lily........still made friends (notice they even had matching bathing suits) and had the best time anyways! :)

Alexis got her BIGS for DD! She loves Peyton and Lindsey and so happy to have had this year to get to know them more!

Lily's BIG highlight of June was attending 4-H Camp again. This year was the BEST...per her...because more of her closest friends went too! Rachel and Reese!

Sophomore year....ALL-American! So great!

July:

I mean...turning 15...HUGE!.............getting to turn 15 at the beach....and a water park......I mean... SUPER highlight!

Always the best visiting this crew!

She not only passed her permit test....but the NEXT week.....passed her driver's test and boating test too! Now.......she just has to wait until she is 16!

Lily became a fish owner since sweet Camille asked her to take Rosie since they were moving!

And...that highlight time....when Alexis had her first DD Ribbon Girl event..... yeah...not really sure what we watched...but the girls all had fun and were dying laughing the whole time! :)
