Top 5 Best Things That Happened in My 31st Year

It was my birthday this past weekend, and I am now in my 32nd year of being alive! Even though I sometimes have to think really hard about what my age actually is, I still enjoy having birthdays. It's the one day of year to celebrate being you. So here are the best things that happened in the last year.

1. Baby Elara! (This is by far the most amazing thing that happened this past year)
2. Exploring Our Area (We did so much more exploring this year, as last year I was pregnant and didn't have as much energy)
3. Creating New Family Traditions (We have started doing a few things around the holidays, like at Thanksgiving and Christmas, which I think will continue as our family gets older)
4. Our House is Now a Home (We have been here almost 2 years now, and with all our projects, our house is starting to really feel like ours)
5. Bonding with Friends (Having a baby has brought me a lot closer to friends who also have young kids. It's great to be able to share in the good and not so good times)
