2016 Year in Review

What an amazing year it's been.  This year by far has been my favorite, as we became a family of four!  I am not sure if its because I have two kids or because I tried to soak up as much time as I could with my baby before she wasn't a baby anymore, but this year literally flew by.  Here are a few of my favorite pics from this year!  I hope you're ready for photo overload.

On January 2nd one of my besties became Mrs. Schell in a gorgeous ceremony
