2016 has gotten a bad rap.  I can't really complain about it.  Last year started off a little rocky, but ended on a high note.  Here's our 2016 in review:

January:

We started the year off living with my parents after our house sold and we weren't able to find a new house right away.  I also got to see WICKED.

February:

We house hunted a lot, Katherine's Papaw had a birthday party, and I changed my hair color. 



March:

Lots more house hunting, Katherine turned 3, and Easter!







April:

More house hunting and we made a trip to Arkansas to visit my grandmothers and great-aunt. 


May:

Oh sweet May.  We went to Branson, celebrated Mother's Day, FINALLY BOUGHT A HOUSE, and our nephew graduated from high school. 





June:

We celebrated Father's Day, I gave our antique wardrobe a makeover, and I introduced everyone to Katherine's new playroom.



July:

Fourth of July, a tour of my office space, and summery treats. 







August:

We hosted my parents' birthday party and we finally finished painting and hanging things in our living room and foyer. 




September:

We visited the Missouri Botanical Gardens, I showed you what I wore each day for a week, Katherine and I had a girls' day at the Butterfly House, I discussed The September Issue, and also had a little Q&A with Katherine. 





October:

DIY's, decorations, treats, my birthday, Boo at the Zoo, Pumpkin Glow, and trick-or-treating!







November:

I talked holiday pies, we had random hot air balloons floating by, Katherine and I went on outings, we voted, and we filled an Operation Christmas Child box. 




December:

More DIY's, Katherine sang in church, we baked lots of cookies, and continued with our favorite Christmas traditions. 



It's been a good year for us and I have high hopes for 2017.  Happy New Year!
