Our Year in Pictures...
January
We welcomed baby Chase Thomas Klepper into the world on December 23rd, 2014. Kyle and I were able to visit the following week. We love this little man. Congratulations, Courtney and Michael.
"My girls" (aka the 2013-2014 Third Graders) got together for a little reunion at the Davis' house. These girls are precious to me.
February
Kyle and I took our annual trip to the Lake for Valentine's / President's Day Weekend. We ate at Flat Branch, grabbed chocolate covered strawberries from the Chocolate Factory, and made a stop at Sophie's school party on our way through Columbia. We had Lil' Rizzo's and shopped the weekend away!
March
Over Spring Break, I took a 5 day trip to Scottsdale to visit Becca and Matt. Matt is a pitcher for the Diamondbacks and we enjoyed several Spring Training games, bazookies, hikes, walks, and breakfast at The Egg I Am!
We celebrated Megan's Bachelorette Party in Tarkio, Mo! This was SUCH a fun weekend! We had drivers that took us from house to house on a "Progressive Dinner/Shot Party." Definitely one of my favorite Girl's Weekends!!

We celebrated Easter in St. Louis. If I remember correctly, dinner at Pietro's was involved.
