Days, weeks and years are really warp speed ever since Liv was born. It’s ridiculous how much fun we are having with this kid. Even her worst days are fantastic because she cuddles up to us and says “I’m sorry I was bad and says I love you Mommy and Daddy.“

| Feels like yesterday she was this small |
When I hear that, I’m done. I love her so much I could die. I never knew love like this which makes me love so hard and appreciate every one else in my life so much more *Antz, My Mom, Maria, Debra, her Godparents: Aimee, Leslie & Stephen* They are so supportive of us and I feel forever indebted to my family for putting up with my annoying antics. Thank you for a terrific year guys!
*and now I’m in tears!*
Anyway…my point is, this has really been an awesome year. I didn’t get to blog as much as I would have liked due to ongoing technical issues but I would love being able to look back at the highlights of the year.
I started off the new year with a list of non-resolutions

Liv went to her first birthday party of the year…
…which turned into going to a birthday party every single weekend for the entire year!
We took Liv to an open casting call for kid models at American Apparel.

| Unfortunately, we didn’t hear any feedback but it was good experience |
I had a delightful Valentine’s Day thanks to my lovely husband.
Almost three years later, I finally made a video of Olivia’s birth. *go ahead and click, there’s no gross parts*
Aimee & I dorked out on several occasions.

Olivia booked her first modeling job with Misha Lulu at the beautiful Humphrey’s Estate  
  
I met an amazing group of people.
After seven years of whining, I finally put my money where my mouth was and we began our kitchen renovation.
 
I posted our kitchen remodel in one, two, three parts.

  Liv modeled for Geronimo Balloons!!    I saw my incredible Björk at the Hollywood Bowl!!   Our friends Tom & Jes got married *on our same beach in Malibu!*    Antz & I celebrated our eleventh year of marriage at the first annual Diner en Blanc in Beverly Hills with friends.           //player.vimeo.com/video/72957003 Diner en Blanc from sunkissis on Vimeo. I did a thirty-day photo challenge.  I blogged my thousandth post!  Liv started her second year of preschool.  Liv also started a new ballet school and hip hop class! 
        My BFF Aimee got her dream car *it’s really super cute* Allegra!  
Liv and I were a part of the 100 portrait project by Marcello Ambritz.    My Mom made her big screen debut in the documentary Sample This. I’m so proud of her!  Liv started soccer class. She’s a natural!     Our little kitchen was featured on The Kitchn!  I changed my blog’s blogspot address! Grammy Bobbye taught drum class for Liv’s class   Liv vamped out for Halloween.
     We went Trick or treating on spooky Carroll Avenue    
Liv made two major discoveries this year, Pippi Longstocking *she loves the 1970’s movies* my favorite as a kid!
…and Michael Jackson. Thriller is seriously her jam!! *We are very proud of her awesome taste* The house on Carroll Avenue sparked her obsession with Thriller. She loves to watch the full-length video and she wants to be the werewolf “Michael” for Halloween next year. She’s totally not afraid and she says it’s just makeup Mommy. I got a new car.   My Bestie is moving into my neighborhood!!! YAY!!   I co-hosted a RAD baby shower for my good friends Story & Chris *and made the best cheese platter and spa water ever*           We met Tunameltsmyheart and he really did!!  We went to Liv’s school Winter Solstice.     
We spent Christmas at the Palms Place in Vegas.                  I had a pretty fabulous year. The highlight of it would be this lady here.
And lastly, here’s a video of my favorite Instagram photos of 2013.
