Recapping 2018: December

The last & final month to recap from 2018. We've come so far this year, it's insane to see how much our family has changed.  We had a very busy, memorable December.  We jumped through hoops to get our first home on the market & keep it clean for showings, we've mastered this long-distance schedule (that doesn't make it any easier however), & we had a few weeks of uninterrupted family of four time that we'll never get back.  We visited Santa, we Christmas shopped, we made Santa cupcakes because mom can't master cookies (hello, goal for 2019), we drove through a holiday light display (that was on my list for the past few years now), made an epic Christmas Eve feast, got to play Santa for toddlers who were so excited for Christmas morning, & watched loads of football games.  I turned 33, wrapped up work for 2018, attended the Noon Year's Eve party for the second year in a row (and probably the last with the upcoming move), whipped up a surf 'n turf dinner in sparkly sequin leggings, drank a bottle of sparkling grape juice, let the girls do sparklers (for the first time) & set-off confetti poppers in the house.  We did not make it to midnight & spent new years day in pj's, refusing to leave the house even for a minute until we had to on the 2nd.

Thank you to everyone who has followed along & continues to follow along, I'm grateful to have a space to serve as my creative outlet!
