Somehow sorting, editing and blogging these photos got pushed too far down on my list. These favorite memories are always in my mind but they just haven't made it to my fingertips yet, until now. The rest of the Hawaii series will be up later today!

We ventured over to the Dole Plantation on our way to the North Shore one morning. I honestly just remember the day being so bright and full of colors and the sweet, sticky air where the pineapple scents lingered. Hawaii was magic for us. It wasn't just a family vacation or a fun trip to visit friends - it was pure happiness.

This day is forever etched in my heart. We shared Dole Whip and snacked on chocolate-covered macadamia nuts. We bought an over-priced pineapple straight from the heart of Pineapple land. And then shared it with the best of friends. We put fake flowers in our hair, ran around the property and fed the Koi fish.

And even though this day was many months ago, and I think I remember it raining on our way home, I'm pretty sure this day was perfect.

52/52 || A quick snapshot before Christmas dinner. I wish I could bottle up exactly who she is right now to have forever, but I think this photo is going to have to do it.

This is it. I'm really glad I have fifty-two pictures of my girl, to look back on. The changes she's made in a year are pretty amazing.

I'm doing this series - a portrait of my child, once a week, every week, in 2013. Follow along, link up & find more from this project here.

Everything about this makes me want to go back. And with that, the New York catch-up round is complete!

PS. It amazes me that in a city this big, you can still find a quiet moment with a bag of sweets in a tiny park.

The Bronx zoo kind of ruined other zoos for us. It's pretty amazing. We've been more times than I can count now. And the gorillas are my favorite. Also...confetti tights. Enough said.

PS. Does the "duck face" look any better than on the face of a three-year old girl? Yeahhh, I didn't think so either.

I'm playing a round of serious catch-up here but during our New York trip in October, we stopped by our favorite apple orchard. It always feels the way Fall should feel while we're there and I love that everything is always the same.

Same cheesy clown selling $1 balloon animals, same rows of apple trees with quaint road signs like "cider lane", same local ice cream shop we go to after, the same park we take family pictures in with big, crunchy leaves that can't be beat and the same fire department always stops traffic for donations and leaves you with Dum-Dum lollipops.

But this year was the best.
