I always love looking back at my favorite posts of the year, but this year I made four posts and barely touched my camera. I think 2024 might have been the busiest year I've ever had, but it was filled with so many unforgettable moments that I never shared. Not pictured here are SO MANY hotel pools, countless birthday cakes and celebrations (including a 30th, three 40th, and three 70th!), two baby showers, a bridal shower, two weddings, and the birth of our niece in March. I don't know what 2025 will bring, but I'm ready to find out. Happy New Year! ππΎ
