FINALLY wrapping up 2015! Whew! It was really such an amazing year from start to finish. We love to recap our year on New Year’s Eve and talk about our favorite moments and favorite vacations and this year def had some great trips! It was a “low key” travel year (in that Zach and I didn’t go on any Aflac, bigger, trips) but all of our trips were just so awesome. It was also such a great year with Tess being out of the little bitty baby stage and really growing into her own little person and her schedule becoming more and more flexible. I’m excited for 2016 and how much more fun we will get to have together with having two big kids and a toddler in the house (and, hello, not nursing yay!).
