2016 in Review

Here is what our 2016 looked like in photos

January

Our 2016 started a bit rocky-my Grandpa died, Chris' dad started a long battle with joint infections, and we lost our third baby at 12 weeks gestation. I guess we found time to build a snowman and hope for things to start looking up!
