Well hello there!

Welcome back, self. My oh my do we have some catching up to do. 
We've just hit our 1 year mark being back in Utah and it has been one glorious year.
 Since I totally dropped the ball on most of 2015 on updating this little old thing, here is a small recap of what we did in 2015...

-We hiked...a lot
-Found a love for the great outdoors
-Started and stopped running multiple times. It's a love/hate kind of thing
-I had a miscarriage (that's about the time I stopped blogging and lost most motivation to keep up with it)
-Evan started pre-school
-My husband launched an EDM record label
-We've had countless family dinners and activities
-We swam and splash padded all of summer
-We made new friends
-We pumpkin patched
-We baked fall time goodies, hello pumpkin everything!
-We took advantage of the beautiful fall weather, and played outside all day almost everyday
-We trunk-or-treated and trick-or-treated and left with way too much sugar
-We celebrated a day of being thankful with a big Thanksgiving feast breakfast and dinner
-We decorated for Christmas
-I crafted and used way too much glitter, which is nothing new. It looked like a unicorn threw up.
-I baked, and baked, and baked.
-We made a homemade gingerbread house and decorated it
-Went to Riverwoods for their Christmas lighting
-We celebrated Christmas with both sides of the family. It was lovely and crazy all at the same time.
-We didn't celebrate the New Year, I'm pretty sure we fell asleep before 10pm
-And well here I am now

I can't promise I'll be back often but for now, I will leave you with our Christmas family pictures. It's been years since we've had pictures so when my sister-in-law agreed to take ours, I was all too thrilled. I literally had my outfits picked out in September...we didn't take them until December...
