My dear friend created a similar post on her blog and I loved it so much that I wanted to have one of my very own.
(It's not plagiarizing if I site my source, right Leah? Right??
Are you ok with this?...)

wow, the very first comment....
great year in review...i might just have to double steal the idea since i'm not taking any pictures to post here due to lack of ANYTHING fun happening! guess we should have taken some pics while we shopped saturday?? it was the highlight of my january!
i'm still amazed that you walked away alive from the 4-wheeler incident!
i can't wait for you to find out what that little bean is!!
I saw this on Leah's blog too and thought about stealing it. :O) First of all....Dalton is a month and a half younger that Hazel and he is still in diapers. I'm blaming the whole boy/girl difference. It makes me feel better! :O) I'm sorry you miscarried. What a sad thing to go through. I wish we were at that awesome July camp out. I'm just gonig to pretend we were. ;O) I hope you are feeling better.
Oh lunch was just not enough time to catch up Crystal! I still have too many things to share. I love this! You seriously live the most eventful life I have ever seen. What movie did you take Hazel to? I am counting down the days to February 8th.
What a great year! Some of these things seem like they were FOREVER ago and I can't believe they were just last year, and then some I feel like were just yesterday. Sweet Hazel on the potty, she looks so cute and little. here's to another great year! hopefully you guys can make it out here soon it would be so fun to have you come and stay, but I will be in Utah feb 7th-21st for Jeff's homecoming so hopefully I can see you then at least
I absolutely loved this post. Enough said.
Oh, of course I don't mind, not one bit!! And seriously agree that a camping trip/vacation should definitely be annual. I think that lightning storm watching will always be one of my favorite memories of living here in student housing. And I'm so sorry again for the miscarriage, my heart breaks for you. Love you Obergs and hooray for living so close yet still catching up via blogs. :)
Great post and what a great year you have had!
Loved this post!! What an exciting year. I'm so sorry to hear you lost a baby. I've lost two and it is horrible so I'm so sorry. The good news is we are having babies around the same time so we should get together and have play dates. Love your posts and I always look forward to them.
You are so cute! I don't check my blog very often anymore with 2 kids! But I am very happy for you! Congratulations on #2!!
Such a fun year, and we are so glad to have had you guys so close by for it. :) and I loved learning settlers with you the other night, anytime you are up for a rematch we are so in! I'm also relieved that I am not the only one feeling The winter blues, and I am seriously game anytime you want to get steamed milk and be sad together!
whata super cute post!!
I didnt know you miscarried!??Im so sorry! glad all is well tho!!xoxo
