Of course, April bloomed Spring, and this year was the year I turned thirteen. Me, Josh, and my Mom made a cute little flower pinata, stuffed with Organic candy. I was glad it went out with a fight.

In Spring, our family had a normal beach day, me and Josh went paddle-boarding, and my Mom and Dad stayed on the beach. Josh fell asleep, and I closed my eyes, and we accidentally drifted out to shoulder-high water (neither of us are professional swimmers). We came back to the shore, one paddle less, but fine. 

In summer our family took a small road-trip to the college where my parents met. It's a beautiful, old, brick place right on the water. 

The four of us  traveled up to Bethany Beach, Delaware for a day in September . It was beautiful. 

I enjoyed Anmarie Gardens Art Fest with my family again this year, looking at all the pretty and sometimes a little quirky art and crafts. 

This December 20th, my Youth group went caroling to a nursing home and then to a concert-like performance called 'tuba Christmas. It was a lot of fun, caroling and listening to Tuba Christmas. Me and my friend took the bells they give out when performing jingle bells, and jingled all the way.

I had a sweet Christmas, with our dear little tree. My Mom and Dad gave me a ukulele, which, unfortunately I can't play yet until my finger heals up (I cut it on a dog food can-ouch). My knitting has come a long way since that first knot-ball, thanks to my Mother. The first thing I really knitted was this grey-thing, and I added so many stitches it would barely fit on the needle. When I took it off, it resembled a doily. Then I began knitting a scarf for my Dad's Christmas present, and my Mom helped me, making it look better. What my Mom did not know, was that I was knitting her a scarf as well.

Ah, well, here comes a new year. Who knows what will happen in 2016? Only God. As L.M Montgomery said;

“Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new 

day with no mistakes in it yet?” 

-L.M Montgomery

2016 is a new year, with no sorrows, mistakes, joys, and sweet little happenings yet. What will we do with this new year? 

God Bless
