Tonight we will say goodbye to 2015 and welcome 2016. These are the times, like everyone, that I feel like I should look back over the memories from the past year. One problem though, I can’t for the life of me think of the details. Yes, we had plenty of good times this year, but apparently my “mom brain” has prevented me from actually remembering them.
I started this post trying to remember one thing from each month. That proved to be very hard. I found myself looking through pictures taken over the year and I think these tell the story best.

Logan’s first day of 4th Grade! |
Macy turned 6 and she started Kindergarten. I will never forget the trip to school that first day. Logan, the experienced 4th grader, told Macy something that just completely set her off. She suddenly started crying and saying she was not going to go. I literally left her crying her little heart out sitting in her new class room. Apparently her day got better though, she was talking my ear off when she got off the bus that afternoon.

Halloween! This is far from my favorite holiday, not that I even consider it a holiday. However, with kids it’s kind of obligatory. We had fun doing our usual chili dinner and trick or treating at my sister’s house one night and then hanging out at a friends house another night. I actually dressed up too.

Christmas! This year it did not feel very “Christmasy” because it was almost 80 degrees outside! It’s hard to get in the Christmas spirit when your AC is on and you could wear shorts and flip flops.

Merry Christmas from a die hard Red Wolf Family! |
I may not be able to remember a lot of details from the year but I do know that it was a very blessed year. We have healthy children, we have good jobs, we have a roof over our head and food in our bellies. I am thankful and humbled by the blessings that are overflowing before us.
