Best of 2014!

  Although this has been an amazing year with a lot of ups and downs, we are so happy to be moving into 2015 at home with both of our girls healthy and happy.  This time last year Shane and I spent the last moments of welcoming the new year at my best friends house, Brielle spent the night with my parents (can't believe she was 6 months old then!), and we were talking about our plans for this year and where we wanted to be as a couple and as a family. I hope everyone has a great time celebrating tonight and we wish everyone a happy and healthy new year!
