It's that time of year when I look back on all of my favorite moments and try and cut them down to an understandable amount. I gave up this year. I can't do it... there was just way too many wonderful moments that I want to remember forever. Even with the ups and downs that the past year has held, I look back at all the photos that have filled it, and I only feel so much love. I'm so thankful for all that the Lord has given us this year, and even the struggles he has helped us through. He is good, and 2018 was, too! 

Becoming a family of four, learning about brotherhood, vacations, a lot of pool time, cousin memories, so many family date nights + mommy & daddy date nights, birthdays, holidays and so many kisses and hugs in between. Such a good year!!!

Asher's Birthday party was so much fun!! It was small, simple and sweet and such a fun way to end the year. I think it might have been my favorite party so far. Cute little touches of penguins, blue and a little bit of Christmas left over in the house. Oh, also quiche and hashbrown casserole, cause who doesn't want that?!? It was a fun morning, and I love celebrating birthdays, especially when we are singing for are one of my little dudes!
