2016

2016 we welcome you with open arms. 2015 was good. No no no, let's actually put a GREAT-stamp on 2015 and smile to ourselves a little bit. Not enough to make us look creepy but just enough to make us feel warm and gooey inside.

The year was very upside down and sideways-crazy, but in every way wonderful.

Let us look back shall we?

Before we start I just want to warn you, my memory is horrible. And when you have a kid everything kind of turns into a big mush. I mean one moment your baby is just learning how to smile and the next she's throwing you a tea party with all her stuffed animals. It's hard to remember anything when new things happen every day. You think you know what life looks like but then a new phase comes and punches you in the face. OH WELL. 2015 here we go.

Shabaam shabaam! 2014 ended at church with the coolest kids on the block and a spectacular new years feast! We partied, ran back and forth to make sure baby was asleep and ofc watched the fireworks as the clock struck 2015.

We moved Chloe into her own room. Watched as it filled up with toys. Watched her learn to crawl. Watched as she learned how to walk.

We had a blessing for her in church and afterward opened up the house for anyone who wanted to come and saw how many people we could fit and had fika together.

In March me and Simone spent days untangling little sisters dreads.

I turned 25 and two days after Chloe turned one. Had a big open house party (again for whoever wanted to come)

Decided afterwards not to have open house parties again. Knew in my heart it wasn't the truth.

Went to Norway. Planned to stay for three weeks. Went home after one.

Recreated old photos with my siblings and made the tiniest photoalbum for my parents 30th wedding anniversary.

Went on a cruise to Estonia with all siblings. Played board games in the hallway outside our room, eat buffet food (drank all their smoothies and tried to hide the evidence), saw a huge Estonian seagull and more. (Stole picture from Ellie. Thanks ;))

Luke started a garden project.

Celebrated three years of marriage.

Became a mother of two.

Spent Christmas with family. Ended the year at home with just my little big family. Loved it.
Bring it on 2016. I know we have plenty of amazing things to look forward too this year as well!
