The last day of 2014..♥

Can you believe it's New Years Eve? My blog has been through so much this year and I would like to take a moment to look back on the best and worst. But first I would love to share my Holiday's with you. 

Christmas is a busy time for my family. My daughter's birthday is Christmas Eve, I can't believe she's already seven. It felt like yesterday I held her for the first time. Before I get emotional, I will change the subject ;). This year we decided to add some new traditions into our Holidays. We tried the Christmas Eve Box and can I just say, it went absolutely amazing. I had a feeling Lily, my oldest would stop believing in Santa with school and kid talk, she was on the fence but after attending a cookie swap (Santa surprised them) and the Christmas Eve box I think she still believes. In case you are wondering what a Christmas Eve Box is, it's simple. Pj's, Hot cocoa, a Christmas movie or book and popcorn. I included a personalized letter from Santa and it sparked their attention. I also did mine in a cute bag from Santa. Right before we left to celebrate my daughters birthday I put the bag in front of the tree and the look on their faces when we came home was priceless. 

My oldest asked Santa for a vanity. I mean every time we seen Santa it was a Vanity. She would write letters and leave them for Santa. My first instinct was she's too young but after browsing Amazon I figured why not. She's only going to get older. I went with a "mini adult" vanity vs a kid one. Sophia, my youngest asked for the usual.. Barbie dolls but to be specific, thanks to Netflix she wanted a Winx Doll. Not so easy to find but during Black Friday, Toys R Us just so happened to have a shipment come in and guess what. She got the doll haha. 

"I use to think being a kid on Christmas was the best thing ever but it turns out having kids on Christmas is." 

So true, right? My girls reactions were priceless. Lily loves her vanity and we surprised Sophia with one too.

Now back to New Years. I still can't believe it's the last day of 2014. I usually like to start of with a resolution and this year I want to make my resolution public so you all can help me complete it. My resolution for 2015 is to practice photography. Last year my fiance bought me a DSLR, a Nikon D3100 in red. She's beautiful. I have used her for a few sessions, but mainly use her for pictures of my girls and product reviews. I want to get the best out of my camera. I did a newborn session, engagement, and wedding. I still catch myself browsing pictures because they were all stunning. Now, I just need to make the time to practice a little more. 

If I had to pick one of my favorite posts this year it would have to be my Chicco Nextfit Review. Why? I was able to share so much about the benefits of ERF (Extended Rear Facing) and so much more. My favorite giveaway would have to be my giveaway that is live. Disney on Ice. Being able to give two families the chance to experience something so magical makes my heart happy. I'm sure you're wondering what is my least favorite and honestly I'm going to say nothing. I've learned so much this year. I am human. I have brain farts, bad picture days, typos, I take breaks and sometimes wonder if this is right for me. Don't we all?

So here's to more typos, late nights, product reviews, giveaways, recipes, and MORE!
I hope you all have an amazing New Year's and bring in 2015 with your loved ones..
