For some reason these New Years Eve pictures are the only ones we have from January.

MAY:

^This month was a busy one! Our family came to visit from the mainland, we jumped off rocks, went to a luau,  celebrated Mother's Day, I graduated, and we went to Portland! (I, II, III)^

JUNE:

JULY:

NOVEMBER:

^ November!! We had a visitor,  hiked in the dark, celebrated Brenden's birthday, ate a lot on Thanksgiving, bought a Christmas tree, and got ready for the holidays.^

DECEMBER:

December was all about Christmas!  We did an advent activity every day until Christmas, we saw many beautiful sunsets, and sent out our Christmas card.

Looking at our year in one post like this makes me realize just how much we did this year. I am so, so excited for next year and all of the new adventures we will have. Happy New Year everyone!
