2013 in a Nutshell

It's now February, and I'm just realizing, I'd like a recap on 2013 so that in the future I can find this one post and see quickly how the year treated me and my family. 
January
Played in a LOT of snow
We announced the addition of
baby #2
February

Celebrated my bday
Stayed in because of the snow and bed rest... Travis studied. 
Then we celebrated Valentines day as a family

And continued to stay inside because of all the snow and my best rest 
Began "school time"

Developed Cabin Fever!
March

Decided to break free of the snow
and head for Warsaw
to our District Conference

Barely caught the train and
wound up sitting on our
suit cases
Well worth the adventure just to get out of LUBLIN
and get some American food, and stay
with some amazing friends, the
Armstrongs.
April
Easter! 
Conference/Anna's bday celebration
Soaking up our last views of Lublin as a family 

Enjoying the last of our
family walks
through our neighborhood
Enjoying some of the last of our
daily routine in Lublin,
as as a family of three
May
Arrival of Gma and Kara to Europe
(My neck of the woods)

Last trip through Poland, Prague, and Germany!
Reunited and it feels so good! 
June
Got our Travis back!
Very first Spartan for Travis
and his siblings
A lot of fun in the sun while
awaiting the arrival of baby Aaron 
July
Fourth of July and still pregnant... 
July 5th, 2013:
Aaron Falco Johnson Arrives!
Said our goodbye to my sister, Talya
who left to serve a mission in
Chicago, IL!
August
Experienced a LOT of downtime as we adjusted to
a new baby once again
We also celebrated our 5th anniversary (but saved the big celebration until Sept)

Experienced the most AMAZING rainstorm
with our good friends, the Steinagels/Nelsons
September
Trip to California for Ajay's Wedding

Hands down, the BEST vacation we've experienced
as a family! Such an amazing week!

Final Goodbye's until Christmas :`(
October


Celebrated Maddix's 3rd Birthday!


Halloween! Theme: Peter Pan
(B: P.Pan, M: Capt Hook, L: Tinkerbell, and A: Smee:) 
Novemeber

We were lucky enough to attend the homecoming of our beloved Ex-Elder Mikolyski (Chad). I worked a lot, but when I was home, we were SNUGGLING through the cold weather. I worked Thanksgiving, but we did have an amazing Very Unmerry Pirate Princess Party!



December
 ~Met Santa Claus~
Travis Celebrated his 28th birthday back
in Poland with our dear friends!

AND THEN WE GOT HIM BACK (for two weeks)!!
Celebrated Christmas with MANY family parties

Welcomed in the new year with a very quiet, low key, and
down right dull new years eve party ;0] 


2013, You were so good to us. 
           Bring on 2014!
