In keeping with tradition, I can't let the year get too far away without doing a recap post of what 2016 brought to our family. It was a year of some big changes with our first car purchase together as a couple and upgrading to a family size car and then finally getting into a house and moving from the place we brought both of our babies home to. I can't believe it's almost been a year since our move and I can't believe how fast it has gone. We were able to go on some amazing vacations to San Diego, St. George, Jackson Hole, and Maui where we made the best memories with both of our families. It has been so fun to watch our little ones grow so much and also develop the sweetest friendship with each other. I can't wait to see the exciting things we have in store this next year, I feel like it's going to be the best yet.
